Fun Fall Projects

Figure A--Slice apples into 1/8-inch thick slices, then dip the slices into a solution of equal parts lemon juice and water. Place them on a rack and bake in a 175-degree oven with the door ajar and bake for about three to four hours.

Figure B--Paint a cardboard circle with plain white glue, and press the apples onto the circle.

Figure C--Continue adding apples in layers until reaching the desired level, such as this three-tiered design accented with a ribbon.

Figure D--Get children involved with nature by making a simple yet creative birdfeeder. Start by cutting two opposite sides out of a milk carton, leaving room to put in the bird seed and for the birds to get in and out of the feeder.

Figure E--Let children collect things such as sticks, flowers, moss and bark to decorate the house. Put a piece of fruit, such as an orange slice, on a skewer inserted through the top of the feeder to attract birds.
