It's that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, the nights are cooler and the smell of pumpkin spice is in the air. Fall is right around the corner and I am so ready for it! With that being said I was getting the bug to do some fun Autumn-themed crafts.
Since I started my blog back in April I have had the pleasure of meeting some very creative bloggers, many of which are busy moms too. They have awesome sites that I highly recommend checking out if you haven’t already. If you saw my Summer Craft Roundup post you will recognize some of these bloggers already but there's a few new ones as well.
I don't know about your kiddos, but mine loves playing dress-up. These homemade masks are super cute and fun to make because you can use whatever nature items you have in your own backyard! Go for a nature walk and see what neat things you can find and then try making your own nature mask.
Handprint crafts are always fun! I just love looking back later on and seeing how much my kiddos have grown already. Plus it's great for kids because they have a chance to get a little messy and create something.
This handprint leaf craft is such a simple project to do with little ones because it doesn't require a ton of prep work. As long as you have some paper and paint you're good to go and create some festive art.
Empty jars are great for crafts, like these tealight holders. You can recycle empty jars to create this cute and easy decor item which is perfect for fall.
Use these as a festive centerpiece or place them around your home. There is also a video tutorial showing step-by-step how to make these so make sure to check it out!
This simple craft is great for young children and so easy to make. You only need a few items that you probably already have around your house and it won't cost you much to put this one together.

Do you have some empty toilet paper rolls laying around? They are perfect to make into crafts like this simple turkey project. This Thanksgiving craft is easy and fun for little children to make and looks so cute. Plus you don't have to run out and buy a bunch of expensive materials, recycle things you already have around your house.
This craft is more for mom and not as much for the kids to do. However it looks beautiful and even uses recycled bottles (yay recycling!). There's a few simple steps to create these bottles which are great to add to your fall decor.
Check out this step-by-step tutorial on how to make these beauties and recycle a few things in the process.

This one is not technically a craft but scavenger hunts are always a fun thing to do with your children. Plus if you go hunting for some of the things on the list you can use them to make some really neat crafts!
Print this super cute scavenger hunt and take on a nature hike or even the cider mill. I know my daughter loves to grab a bunch of items on our walks like sticks, flowers and leaves so having a checklist is such a great idea.
