Kids’ Books about Leaves

September 12, 2016 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

We’ve been sharing lots of fall fun for kids lately, including apple tree playdough mats, plenty of fall leaf activities and crafts you can make as a family, and kids’ books about camping. But we’ve been missing leaf books! Doh!

I love watching the leaves change during autumn. It’s like the whole world just explodes with color. I remember a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip that referred to fall leaves as nature’s fireworks, and I couldn’t agree more.

So – since reading is a major part of our homeschool, here are some beautiful kids’ books about leaves you can share with your children this fall!

These kids' books about leaves are packed with gorgeous illustrations - perfect for reading this fall!

Easy Fall Snow Globe Craft for Kids

December 13, 2013 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

Easy Fall Snow Globe Craft for Kids @ Look! We're Learning!

I love fall. I just love it. It’s such a rich season – full of colors and textures and scents. It’s a perfect time of year to go into full-on crafting mode.

Since we had a lot of leaves left from our Fall Leaf Garland, I thought we could make a fall “snow” globe with them. And since I love easy kids’ crafts, it seemed like a quick and fun project to make. See how you can make this easy fall snow globe craft for kids!

Simple Fall Snow Globe Craft

If your kids love making this craft, check out some of our other fall learning ideas, including our Leaf Painting Activity, our Coffee Filter Owl Craft, or our Fall Leaves Unit Study!

Make this easy and lovely fall snow globe craft to celebrate autumn with the kids!

Easy Fall Snow Globe Craft for Kids

This is a super dee duper craft to make with your kids. Just so you know – I’m all about the super easy here. 🙂

DIY Fall Snow Globe Craft - Look! We're Learning!

To get started, we just scrunched up a lot of our leaves.

Simple Fall Snow Globe Craft - Look! We're Learning!

If I ever want my kids to have fun instantly, all I have to do is give them the chance to destroy something. Look at that face! That is pure glee.

DIY Fall Leaf Snow Globe Craft - Look! We're Learning!

All ready!

Fall Snow Globe Materials
A quick look at our supplies: crushed leaves, brown paint, a baby food jar, and baby oil.

Did I mention that this is really, really easy?

Fall Snow Globe Painting

Paint a few barren trees on the outside of the jar.

Fall Snow Globe Project

If you want, go back and add a few white clouds.

Fall Snow Globe Craft

Turn the jar right side up and add the crushed leaf pieces.

Easy Fall Snow Globe Craft

Pour in the baby oil.

Fall Leaf Snow Globe

Screw the lid on top. If you want to add extra hold, you might hot glue the lid on.

Kids Fall Snow Globe Craft

Turn the jar upside down and give it a shake!

Baby Food Jar Fall Snow Globe

Ooooohhhh….purty.

This entire activity takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, so it’s a great craft to put together in a hurry.

If you want to add a bit more decoration, you could hot glue a scarecrow figurine to the lid so that the scarecrow would be “caught” in the leaves when you shake the jar. You could also add a bit of glitter for extra sparkle!

Oh – one quick note: If you paint the jar first, give it time to dry before you go on to the other steps. I had to use the very tips of my fingers to finish the rest of the project…lol.

Want to make fall learning fun for your kids? Try these ideas!

This All About Leaves Printable Unit Study is a perfect way to study the science of fall foliage with kids!

Use these printable fall playdough mats to teach your little ones to form letters and numbers!
