Have kids paint the leaves with a thin coat. Kids can use painted leaves like stamps, making leaf prints on clay pots. Allow kids to choose different leaves and repeat steps 4 and 5 until colorful leaves cover clay pots. Let pots dry. Wipe hands and spilled paint. Assist children in filling bottom of pot with craft foam. Show children how to glue plastic fruits and vegetables in place to create an overflowing harvest for these fall Bible crafts.
