 My boys could not believe we did this craft with glue. It was so amazing and fun for them.

Make an autumn garland.

Write family members names on the leaves and use as place settings at Thanksgiving.

Hang in the window as a suncatcher.

We had lots of fun with this craft. We are thinking of doing some Christmas designs too.
