Raking Leaves Fall Craft
Raking leaves may not be my most favorite chore in the world, but this Raking Leaves Fall Craft may be one of my new favorite fall crafts. Super quick and easy with lots of vibrant fall colors, this craft takes a chore and makes it into a fun event. This is a great fall craft to work on scissor skills, as well.
If I have to choose, though, the best part about raking leaves is building a big pile to jump in. And you can make your pile of leaves in our raking leaves craft big enough for the biggest jump if you wish. That’s what’s so fun about this craft, too.
Fall Raking Leaves Paper Craft
To make our raking leaves craft you will need cardstock in blue, red, orange, yellow, and brown, along with markers in red, orange, and yellow, scissors, and a glue stick.
Paper Raking Leave Craft Supplies Needed
- Cardstock – blue, red, orange, yellow, brown
- Markers – red, orange, yellow
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Raking Fall Leaves Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by choosing a light blue cardstock background and red, orange, and yellow cardstock for leaves. You will also need brown cardstock for the rake.
Now, fold the red sheet of cardstock in half and start cutting oval shapes for the leaves, like you would when cutting a heart. Make some small, some a bit larger, some more elongated, and so on. Leaves come in all different shapes and sizes.
Once all cut, use a marker in a similar color to draw veins on the leaves.
Next, make a rake by cutting a thin strip and a trapezoid shape from brown cardstock.
Cut snips in the bottom of the trapezoid for the rake tines.
Then glue the trapezoid to the brown strip.
Glue the leaves on the blue cardstock wherever you’d like. We also like to leave a few of the leaves loose.
Finally, glue the rake amongst the leaves.
Such a great way to make a really sweet fall scene. And a lot more fun than actually raking leaves.
