Fall/Halloween Art Projects

I have had the most fun coming up with art projects for my little ones. Fall is such a wonderful time of the year and there are so many great ideas!
 
Outside our classroom door, I wanted to have a nice display for some of our Fall artwork. One morning I took a large sheet of brown butcher paper and traced a tree outline. I cut it out then taped it to the wall. I then added some grass at the bottom, a basket of apples, and a sign at the top that reads, "FALL-ing in Love with Autumn".  So easy! I had the children dot paint leaves that I cut out on cardstock and we added them to the tree.
 
Our first art project to be displayed was our apple print paintings.

 Easel painting is a favorite in my class! The children painted a large picture of a leaf with red and orange paint.

I created a mini pumpkin patch for my class so they could pick out a pumpkin to take home. It was so easy to set up and the kids loved it!

 
 
I look forward to sharing more of my ideas soon!
