• If you printed out the leaf templates have the kids color them in or you can try out a cool new painting technique.
• Start by making a leaf treasure hunt and collect the nature supplies that you need. If you have leaves in your yard make a Race for Leaves contest. Tell the children to run, collect 10 leaves and bring them back. If you have many colored leaves have the kids play Find the Color; tell the children to find red leaves, then yellow leaves, etc. If you are using artificial leaves have a Treasure Hunt: hide them around the yard and have the children search for them.
• Fold the opening of the bag to make it shorter.
• Glue on the leaves.
• Have a fall fashion show with your new hats.
