As the leaves of fall are changing colors from green to vibrant reds and golden yellow preparing for the fall season, there is no better time to ignite the kid’s creativity than the fall with all its colors. The fall season provides the perfect opportunity to use some of its elements and create unique and meaningful pieces. From leaves to pumpkins or even corn, there are many fall-themed pieces you can incorporate. Let the little artist in them surface with this fun, easy, and must-try painting idea.

Fall Leaves Painting Inspiration

One way to incorporate fall into paintings is to use the most known symbol of fall which is leaves. Young kids can pick up leaves that have fallen and use them in your painting. They can clean the leaves, dry them, and dip them in a gradient paint of orange and yellow. This way they can stamp it on the canvas. There is no limit to this, they can vary the sizes of the leaves and the colors creating a unique painting showcasing fall in its beauty. Kids would love to use paint and stamp it playing around with colors.

You can also change around by creating a landscape of different trees with changing colors from orange to golden colors with a cottage in the background. With the leaves theme still in mind, the kids can enjoy painting a scene with a big pile of leaves. Kids jump in these big piles of autumn leaves whenever they are gathered in a pile, so why not create art out of it?

Harvesting Season and Creativity

Fall also is a season of harvest of different crops. Kids could also create a beautiful landscape of the field where different plants are growing. The canvas would be adorned by pumpkins, corn cubs, and trees of apples. They can also draw baskets filled with fresh harvest. Nothing says fall like pumpkins.

Vibrant Fall Painting Ideas for Kids

Picture a painting with a fireplace surrounded by family making some smores. Kids can use a picture or create a painting when they go camping creating a big cozy fireplace where everyone is telling stories. Add sparks to the fire and some side wood to keep the fire going and you got an amazing creation.

Another great idea the kids would enjoy is painting flowers, a whole bouquet of flowers specifically. Some seasonal fall flowers include sunflowers, mums, and asters. Sunflowers can easily be created by getting a lid and stamping on the canvas to form the center of the flower, and the leaves can be stamped as well using real leaves.

As fall comes, it comes the fall market with stalls of fresh vegetables. The kids can replicate this scene by including people at stands buying different vegetables, apple sauce, and homemade goods fresh from the farm. Fall is the season where rainy days may occur. The scene of rainy days with colorful umbrellas and wet glistening leaves can be easily created in a painting.
