Find the statues. If there is time, have the children make up a story with you, telling about the painting. Write the sentences on the board and read the story back to them as you go along. You might write it very large in a simple booklet to keep in the classroom. If so, ask the children what color they would recommend for the cover and find some shiny, jewel-like paper to cover it.
Procedure Take the children on a nature walk to collect items associated with autumn.
Name and discuss each of the items collected. Tell the children they are going to create an autumn collage. Explain that a collage is a collection of items arranged in a pleasing manner. Have the children arrange the seeds, nuts, pine cones, flowers, leaves and other fall items on the meat tray or paper plate. Using lots of glue, attach the items to the tray or plate once the arrangement is completed.
