7 Adorable (and Easy!) Fall Crafts for Kids

By Wesley Shaw

Down South, we take our crafting very seriously. Honestly, when it comes to crafts, it’s up for debate whether it’s the kids or adults who enjoy it more. There’s something about breaking out the Elmer’s glue and kid-proof scissors that just takes us back to our childhood, especially when it comes to the fall season. Autumn will always hold a special place in our hearts, and it’s not just because of the plethora of apple pie. No matter the age, we can always leave it to crunchy leaves, ripe apples, crisp air and brightly colored sunflowers to get our imaginations running wild again. Some of the best memories from childhood are created while sipping hot apple cider and crafting with the family, so we rounded up some of the most adorable art projects for kids we could find for the fall season. Once you can round up the kids from their leaf-pile-jumping adventures, try out some of these fall crafts that are sure to be a blast for everyone involved.
