With this fall leaf scratch art project, kids can create a colourful collage of fall leaves using a classic art technique.
Recently we made some spooky Hallowe’en scratch art, and we had enough homemade scratch art paper leftover to do a second project with. We decided on Fall Leaf scratch art collage so we could get one last fall leaf craft in before the snow flies.
If you’ve never done scratch art with your kids, you must try it! It’s really fun and it produces such beautiful results.
I think this project is pretty enough to frame, and would look great on a wall in the playroom or in your child’s bedroom.
This project does require some fine-motor skills, so it’s best for ages 5 and up. Younger children can certainly participate and make some abstract scratch art if the leaf-tracing is too advanced for them.

A little disappointed that I liked the look of the craft and then you make me go to another site for your “fail proof” scratch off.

Hi Robena, I’m glad you liked the look of our project. Once a month I write a post for CBC Kids, and I share a preview of it on my own site to let my blog followers know about it. I’m would never force anyone go to the CBC Kids site; if the reader likes it, they can click the link to get the details. I hope clicking wasn’t too much of an inconvenience for you. It really is a terrific activity for kids of all ages. I hope you’ll try it with your hooligans! Have a great day, and rest assured, 99.9 of the posts on my blog contain all of the details for the craft or activity. Happy crafting! x
