Fall Leaf Crafts
We love getting creative with leaves! There are many art and craft ideas you can make with dried leaves. You can use them as stencils, draw details to make them into hedgehogs (or other cool creations) or paint them to completely transform them (amongst many other great crafting ideas).
Leaf art is great for toddlers, great for preschool fall crafts table, kindergarteners and older kids – you can easily find a project for every age group.
One of our favourite, super simple projects are these leaf hedgehogs. Cute aren’t they? We welcome you to browse more ideas (we have quite a few, some of our latest are showcased bellow).
Do stop back soon as we have quite a few more planned!
Pine Cone Crafts for Fall
Pinecones are also great for fall crafting with kids. Get out in the nature and pick a few.
Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns
When it comes to autumn craft ideas, all thing pumpkins are a must! Making paper strips pumpkins is one of our favorite fall activities as they are both fun to make and make a great fall garland! Just make a whole bunch and string them on a thread to hang wherever you want.
You can mix them up, and make regular construction paper pumpkins as well as scary (or funny looking) Jack o’Lanterns.
These certainly are not the only idea we have shared on our website, here are a few of our recent favorites.
Hedgehogs Projects for Kids
Next in line in our fall crafts for kids ideas list are hedgehogs!
If you are a regular visitor to our website, you know I have a thing for hedgehogs (one of my favorite crafting subjects), so I always hardly wait for autumn to get near so that I can create more! These painted rock hedgehogs are one of my personal favorites, and as fall is still warm and for a generous part dry enough to go out on nature walks, gathering rocks can easily be on your list.
No smooth stones nearby? Worry not! There are many more fun hedgehog fall crafts ideas for kids to choose from:
Fox Fall Craft Ideas

Four Seasons
Autumn is a great time of the year to observe changes in nature and talk about four seasons.
Bird Feeders
With the colder months fast approaching, the time to offer a little bit of help to our feathery friends approach too. Birds will appreciate any seeds that come their way so why not make a wonderful DIY bird feeder on your own.
