Fall leaf crafts for kids
The crafts use everyday materials like paint, crayons, and construction paper. You can substitute whatever you have on hand to create your own unique crafts.
You can extend the craft sessions by going on a nature hike to gather leaves for these fun projects. If natural leaves are not available, the crafts can be done with artificial leaves.
The fun is in the process rather than the result!
