Poems, Leaves, and Candy Corn
I love poems!
And I think they're great additions to crafts!
Years down the road the kids will find the craft, read the poem, and remember the fun they had and MAYBE, just maybe they'll pass that joy along to someone else!
Below are a couple things I did this year.
I've done the leaf poem before but I found the candy corn ones one Pinterest.
Is that anyone elses go to???
Leaf Poem:
Very simple!
All you need is the poem (pasted below), paper, glue, string, and leaves to decorate. Let the kids do the rest themselves.
To change it up, frame the little guy or make it into cards, or notes for your pumpkin loaf!
Come, Little
Leaves
By George Cooper
“Come, little
leaves,” said the wind one day.
“Come over the
meadows with me and play;
Put on your
dresses of red and gold,
For summer is
gone and the days grow cold.”
Soon as the
leaves heard the wind’s loud call,
Down they came
fluttering, one and all;
Over the brown
fields they danced and flew,
Singing the
sweet little songs they knew.
“Cricket
good-by, we’ve been friends so long,
Little brook,
sing us your farewell song;
Say you are
sorry to see us go;
Ah, you will miss
us, right well we know.”
Dancing and
whirling, the little leaves went,
Winter had
called them, and they were content;
Soon, fast
asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow laid a
coverlid over their heads.
Candy Corn:
Again, it's simple!
All you need is the poem(s), scissors, glue, string, and construction paper; white, orange, yellow, a solid color for the back, I used black.
Agian, you could easily make this into a framed piece, card, or gift for a friend.
Trinity
Just like the
3 colors in
the candy corn I
see.
There are 3
persons in the Holy Trinity
God the Father
God the son,
Jesus
God the Holy
Spirit
All 3 are God,
Yet together
They are One.
There are two different poems because I love them both!
WHITE
is
for our Sins
That Jesus
washed away
ORANGE
is
for new hope
The Lord gives
us each day
YELLOW
is
for His wisdom
And words so
sweet
Please check back in next week for another post with ideas.
