September brings with it the first warm colors, the leaves that begin to fall and the desire to spend more time at home. It is the perfect time to create autumn jobs that recall nature and creative recycling, combining play and manual skills. Here are 7 do -it -yourself ideas that lend themselves well to be made together with the children.
Painted pine cones
The first idea we offer you is simple and very pretty: just recover pine cones of various sizes taking a walk in the woods and painting them with tempera colors in the tones of autumn. Pigne can be placed in a container or used to create a garland.
Riccio with leaves
Take advantage of the autumn days of sun to collect leaves of various shapes and sizes. Let it dry and use them to create the body of a hedgehog cut out in the cardboard. A simple job that will conquer everyone!
Cardboard squirrels and natural materials
Recover a piece of cardboard, some piglets and acorns. Draw the shape of the squirrel on the cardboard, cut it out, add eyes and nose, finally cover the tail with the natural elements attacking them with hot glue.
Funghetti with twigs and egg cartons
Cut out a tip from the cardboard of the eggs and paint it red, adding small white dots to create the mushroom hat. In the meantime, take the sprig and paste the wooden sphere over, transforming it into the face: with the acrylic markers he draws the eyes, nose and cheeks. Once dry, fix the red hat on the sphere and complete the decoration by adding a bow under the face.
Painted leaves
Autumn leaves can be decorated with simple acrylic markers: you can only use white for a more elegant effect or add colors of your choice.
Painted chestnuts
Take a walk in the woods and collect a lot of chestnuts: cleaning, towel and decoration with a white marker and a black marker.
Wooden animals
Recover a wooden disk with a cigare tree on the top and draw the muzzle of an animal of your choice, then paint it with tempera or acrylic markers. You just have to add felt ears, gluing them with hot glue, and putting a piece of string in the hole in order to hang it.
