We were playing outside yesterday and picked up a bunch of pretty leaves. I thought one of them looked sort of like a fish head, so we started making leaf creatures with them. We used glue on both sides of the leaves to kind of preserve them. I don’t know if it will work, though. I guess only time will tell.

To make your own leaf creatures, all you need is imagination, white craft glue, leaves, googly eyes and construction paper to glue the critters to. This seems like a really good craft idea for Thanksgiving, since a maple leaf looks kind of like a turkey tail.

Update: After we made our projects, I was looking for other fall craft ideas for Thanksgiving and came across an entire book on making leafy critters:
