These Owl Handprints and Leaf Finger Puppets Will Become Your Kids' Favorite Craft Projects

Fall is the perfect time to keep your kids entertained with crafts. We're talking DIY acorn projects, leaf crafts (they'll love the leaf cookies and family puppets), and pumpkin carving activities that are silly and spooky enough for Halloween (can't forget no-carve options). And while you're taking your little ones on daily or weekly walks trough the park, this is their moment to gather leaves, acorns, sticks and rocks for DIY crafts they'll love making. With our roundup of fall crafts for kids, the crafting fun doesn't have to end.

Have your kids dive into their creativity with raw materials straight from the yard, playground or backyard. Only a few items are needed from the craft box, including paper, cardstock, glue, wiggly eyes and Sharpies. Other than that, everything can be nature-based. We're talking acorn necklaces, wooden spoon scarecrows, pinecone hedgehogs and strawberry acorn magnets. With our list, you'll have enough autumn-themed Halloween crafts and Thanksgiving DIY projects to use during playtime or simply hang up as home decor. And don't stop there.
