Invitation to Create: Art Using Fall Colors
Theo has really taken an interest in creating things on his own. He’s been practicing using glue and just loves painting. The joy and pride I see in his face when he’s creating art inspired me to set up this invitation to create art using fall colors! (This post contains affiliate links.)
Materials for Fall Process Art for Kids
- Watercolor paint in fall colors
- Watercolor paper
- Tissue paper squares in fall colors
- Oil pastels
- Liquid glue
Creating Fall Art for Kids
Theo was immediately interested in the watercolors. He loved saying the names of each color he used as he painted. After he was done exploring the watercolors, Theo was ready to glue on the tissue paper squares. He did this mainly on his own, but at times I did suggest when he had enough glue on his paper.
When he was done creating, I set his artwork aside to dry. Later we hung it up to display and get our home ready for fall!

Such a gorgeous tray Chelsey 🙂 Those autumn colours are beautiful.
Loving the simplicity in this activity. Whenever we have a dull moment a little glue does the trick for my 3year old!
Lovely!
Beautiful!
Oh lots of fun! I need to try this. Pinning!
So pretty and simple! LOVE it! I tend to complicate things : )
Your set ups always look beautiful! This would be a perfect mid-day activity when we need some quiet time. If we don’t take a break and do something relaxing around 3-4, all things go crazy! I’ll be setting this up soon for the kiddo.
Thank you for sharing at our Pinning for Play link party!
I just love this post so much! What an authentic way to let a young child make art. I can’t wait to do something like this with my little guys!
Loving this simple, festive art project!
This is so inviting! I love how you displayed everything on the tray.
I loved your invitation to play and I featured you on my new post “Discovering autumn nature: Crafts & activities” . You can see it here: http://maros-kindergarten.blogspot.gr/2013/09/blog-post_17.html
Have a nice day!
This is a wonderful activity for a preschooler. Just enough materials to interest and stimulate the imagination, but not so much it becomes overwhelming. I run a preschool program at the library and this will work beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
This is a fun looking arts and craft project 🙂 I like the way the colors mesh and are perfect for those fall projects and lessons the kids are learning too. Thank you for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop 🙂
What a great activity to promote creativity! Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
