Fall is almost here, and it’s time to craft something seasonal. If you have toddlers, craft something together with them and have fun! Here are some ideas to realize and enjoy the fall together with your children.

It’s quick and simple to put together, encourages fine motor practice, and is a great reflection of the swirling, colorful leaves of fall.
