Bring Fall Colors Inside with your Children

Internetland - From Atlanta to Philadelphia, NYC to DC, fall is making its rounds. What are some fun things to do with kids during the fall months? During the summer, the kids probably got their arts and crafts kicks on, but now that it is autumn, what can they do? The days are getting darker earlier; the fall and winter can be so humdrum. Brighten up your home with some fall themed décor and let the kids help! What kind of decor are you after? Do you want to dress up a mantle or create a table centerpiece? Perhaps you would like to have a runner along the tops of your kitchen cabinets or bookshelves. Made out of branches, treated fall leaves and some twinkling, clear string lights, you can't go wrong. Your children would love to help you gather all of the materials, so make an outing out of it, end up with some hot chocolate, and hold an official decorating and crafts day. “But I'm not crafty...” Well, this is what our site is for! Visit Classesncamps and check out our blogs on arts and crafts, fall décor ideas, and more.

How do you make fall leaves keep their colors? That is an excellent question! If you bring in a beautiful orange leaf and let it sit on a shelf, it gets oxidized and turns an ugly brown. To help the leaf keep its lovely color, and allow it to beautify your home these dark, cold months, place the leaf to be preserved in a mixture of one part glycerin to two parts water. Leave it to soak in a container with a weight on top of the leaf to keep it completely submerged. Let the leaf soak for a couple of days or up to one week, then remove, dry, and viola! A preserved, beautiful leaf that is ready for any number of arts and crafts.
