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!

September 14, 2013 at 1:27 pmYour 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!

September 17, 2013 at 4:30 pmThis 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.
