I took this picture last year of the lane to our home.  I am eagerly awaiting the leaves to turn their beautiful fall colors this year.  They are still green. . . .

I recently came across some great activities that you could do with your grandchildren that involve the gorgeous fall leaves.

GingerbreadSnowflakes.com has directions for taking a fall leaf and covering it with modge podge.  By doing this, the leaf stays colorful, supple, and will last for years.  Fun, fun, fun.

That Artist Woman has a project for painted autumn leaves. I especially love the oak leaves she did.  Their vibrant colors contrast so nicely after being mounted on black paper.

She also has directions for salt dough leaf prints.  Remember back 30 years ago when salt dough projects were all the rage? This could be a fabulous activity that you share with your grandchildren, explaining the salt dough projects you did in days of yore while creating your salt dough leaf.

Grab a grandchild or two for a couple of hours and have fun making these fall leaves.  (These three projects are simple enough that even my klutzy craft-less hands could do them!)
