We love Autumn! All those beautiful autumn colours – reds, yellows and oranges. The wonderful fall nature finds – such as acorns, conkers and fallen leaves and the woodland creatures that are so iconic for autumn. All these different themes lend themselves for wonderful Autumn Crafts for Kids! I personally, have wonderful childhood memories of going off and finding acorns and conkers and then coming home and making nature creatures out of them. It is such a pleasant memory of mine and I think all children should experience this type of fall crafts for kids!!! So. Without further ado, here are our favourite autumn crafts for kids – please note, I have tried to group them “sensibly for you”. I also picked out all the most appropriate Autumn Crafts for Preschoolers again, as I know this is a special group to craft with! The end of this articles also has links to further collections of kids autumn crafts, that include not just Red Ted Art’s ideas but additional outside crafts too! ENJOY!

Hi Maggy, thank you for sharing your craft ideas. All of them looking so good. Now, because I’m German I would like to know which paper you choosed for making the leaf lanterns and how do you stick the leafs on? Would love to make such a lantern with my boys. Thank you, kind regards, Angela Kirst
Hi Angela,
We used “baking paper” – either stuff you use to line oven trays with, or to wrap sandwiches in! You can see the FULL instructions here – https://www.redtedart.com/leaf-lanterns/
Enjoy!
