Love this! It gives me the warm and fuzzies reading this 🙂 thanks for including us!
Great craft ideas. I’ll have to try at least a couple of them.
Love this – simple and beautiful crafts we can all make – I especially love the lanterns!
My girls would love these crafts! Thank you for sharing!
These look so fun! My son will especially love making the apples!
These all look like a lot of fun! I really like the button busy bag, super cute!
These crafts are actually attractive, more so than some that we’ve all seen! I like the lanterns and the felt tree the best.
I recently got a spin art machine from a garage sale. That apple bunting project is the perfect first project for us!
Wow, what cute ideas! Love these. The tree is so cool. Our kids would love making it.
Great ideas! I bet my mom and grandmother would love to do these with my daughter (and me). What fun….4 generations around the table making these projects. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for Christmas and Spring!
These are great craft ideas! I don’t have kids myself, but lots of my family members do and this would be so fun to do with them during our family get-togethers. I think the Welcome Fall sign is my favorite 🙂
These are such cute ideas! I will have to modify slightly since my toddler is only two but with supervision these can be so much fun!
Love the felt tree and the welcome and apple decoration.
These are great ideas! And I love that they work for both younger and older kids – makes them perfect for siblings too.
Great collection of Fall crafts..I love the felt/button project!
You’ve got some great ideas. My favorite is the button tree!
