I've only been opened 3 months, and the fall is my favorite time of the year, so I can't wait to do some seasonal crafts with the kids. But I have no clue what to do! What works best with 1-3 year olds? What's easy and cute? I have lots of paints, colored paper, glitter, felt, yarn, and many other craft supplies but have no clue what to do with them!

Turkeys for sure
One of my favorite for the fall season is the Turkey for Thanksgiving. The one that you make with the childs hand print. There is several different versions. I like the one with paint prints. But I also like the one that you cut out the hand and add colorful feathers for the turkeys fantail. The pilgrim hats as well as a sit down feast to go with it. For halloween, I love anything pumkins. I think I seen a craft once that took one of those tiny water bottles and painted them orange, sticker eyes nose mouth thing.

We made fall trees today. For the littlest ones I drew the outline of a tree trunk on construction paper and had them glue different colored tissue paper squares for the fall leaves. The older ones drew their own trees and glued the tissue paper for both the leaves, and brown for the tree trunk as well. Simple, but they always have fun just gluing anything and everything .

One of my favorites is to do a fall tree too.
I paint the child's hand and entire forearm up to their elbow with brown paint and then they press onto paper, making the whole tree (trunk and branches) then they finger dip the leaves with yellow, red and orange.
