Does your little one love fairies? If so, this fall leaves fairy wand craft is for you!
Fall is one of my favorite times of year…the weather is cool and the colors of the leaves are changing. My kids love jumping in piles of leaves, and I love the sound of them crunching under my feet.
Fall leaves are also a great inspiration for arts and crafts! Check out these 42 Stunning Leaf Crafts for Kids to Make.
My daughter and I made this fall leaves fairy wand today, and it was such a hit! She had fun collecting the leaves and stick, making the wand, then going out and playing with it!
Fun Fall Facts for Kids
- Trees that lose their leaves in the fall are called “deciduous” trees.
- Leaves that change colors in the fall are actually changing back to their true colors. Chlorophyll changes the leaves’ color to green in the spring and summer.
- People who live close to the equator (in tropical areas such as Hawai’i), don’t experience fall. The temperature stays warm all year long, and the trees stay green!
