Make an Owl Puppet Amy Glassenberg says
" These
were easy to put together - construction paper triangles and circles for
the face, button eyes, furry felt bellies and pipe cleaner feet, and
fall leaves for wings." This puppet is from
Amy Glassenberg's blog

Fall Hat
This is an easy craft idea (If you can get the paper bags). If I
did this with kids, I would not paint the bag but would leave it the
natural color. If you don't have fall leaves, print out leaf
patterns and have the children paint or color them.
