Activity 2: Autumn Family Landscape Craft - A Personal
Landscape
Tell the children they are going to make an Autumn Family
Landscape.
- Print templates in your choice of color or black & white.
- The templates have a small image with
a suggested arrangement for the pieces.
- The black and white version of the templates allows
for more creativity to decorate the shape pieces separately with a
variety of materials (review suggestions and ideas below), then cut out and
assemble the landscape.
- The
family and seasonal images have dotted lines to make it easier to
cut and glue as stickers.
- Ideally use light blue craft paper or paint construction paper
first with a light blue background and add a strip of green
construction paper for a lawn.
- Discuss traditional
autumn/fall colors in your region to illustrate these in the craft.
- Decide on what weather conditions you
would like to portray.
- The templates can be glued to tissue
paper, traced over construction paper, scraps of wall paper,
wrapping paper or colored in with paints, crayons, markers,
etc.
Ideas and suggestion for decorating the landscape:
- Cut small pieces of construction paper to make shingles on
the roof triangle.
- Glue different colors of
tissue paper on the pieces, instead of coloring, and then cut out
excess.
- Add a button for the door
knob.
- Add autumn flowers (sunflowers small pieces of yellow tissue) and other plants to the front of the house,
or small pieces of yellow, orange red construction paper to form
piles of autumn leaves,
or add cotton balls on the cloud snow.
- Use small pieces of blue yarn to
resemble falling rain or make a picket fence to see rectangle forms.
- Stickers are also a great option to add other elements such as
birds, and other animals.
