So it's the perfect time to get the kids out for some fun DIY projects that will keep them entertained while temperatures begin to drop. Today, we will explore some of the most creative and easy fall DIY crafts for kids that will bring your home to life with the magic of the autumn season!
Leaf Prints
It's easy to find beautiful autumn leaves scattered on the ground during this season, and kids love taking advantage of them to create stunning leaf prints. Simply place the leaves on a flat surface, dip a paintbrush in some paint, and then create a colorful print by gently tapping the paintbrush over the leaf. You can use these prints to decorate your home, classroom or even make your own DIY autumn cards.
Pumpkin Decorating
There are plenty of ways to decorate pumpkins for autumn, and doing this with your kids can be a great bonding activity. Some fun ideas include painting the pumpkins in bright colors, creating different faces using a variety of materials, or even adding some glitz and sparkle with some glitter and sequins. You can also use these decorated pumpkins to decorate your outdoor space or even use them to decorate your Thanksgiving table.
Paper Mache Apples
Take your kids on an apple-picking trip, and then turn those apples into DIY decorations. You can make paper mache apples by blowing up a balloon, tearing up strips of newspaper, and then dipping them in a glue mixture before layering them onto the balloon. Once dried, you can remove the balloon and paint the paper mache in beautiful autumn colors. These can also be used to decorate your home, classroom or even give them away as gifts.
Mason Jar Lanterns
Autumn is the perfect time for something cozy, like the warm glow of lanterns. You can create beautiful lanterns using mason jars, twine, and some autumn-colored tissue paper. Cut different sizes and shapes of tissue paper and glue them onto the mason jar, wrapping twine around it for added style. Once the glue is dry, put a candle inside and enjoy the beautiful glow.
Autumn Wreaths
You can make beautiful autumn wreaths with natural materials like dried flowers, acorns, pine cones, and twigs. You will need a wreath frame, some glue, and some wire to string everything together!
Autumn is a magical season filled with vibrant colors and creative possibilities. These easy fall DIY crafts for kids will not only entertain your little ones but also create beautiful autumn decor for your home. Enjoy the season by creating these fun and simple fall DIY crafts with your kids!
