Quirky Fox Gift Box Craft
Ah fall. Colorful leaves, cool air, and.... forest animals? Hello, friends! We've done 3D Butterfly Gift Wrapping and Kiss Wrapping Paper over here on the blog. I figured it was time to do a fall-themed wrapping paper idea. And what says fall more than foxes? (Ok, ok. Perhaps forest animals aren't particularly fall-ish... but they are on trend and oh so cute!)

Fall Leaf Scratch Art (and related books!)
Are the leaves changing colors where you are? Every year I look forward to seeing the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows. Today I wanted to share this really easy fall craft that doubles as a STEAM activity. It's a science and art activity that helps kids to represent how leaves change colors in the fall.

How to fold an Easy Origami School Bus (And a book list)
School is right around the corner. Eeek. Are you ready? We're excited and nervous around here to finally be going to "big kid school." Ever since we folded Origami Yoda and Origami Pikachu together, my son's really been into origami crafts. To go along with the back-to-school theme, we recently folded these origami school buses together.

Do Halloween crafts rock your world? Yes!?
Awesome. They totally rock mine
too. Halloween is my favorite holiday of
the year. Costumes, magic, candy, gross
things, spooky things—I love it all!
Tomorrow is
the first day of October and I’m trying to squeeze in as many Halloween crafts
as I can before the month is over. Today
I’m sharing a really neat Halloween activity that also doubles as a STEAM (science, technology,
engineering, art, and math) activity too.

Paint Chip Color Wheel Inspired Fall Wreaths
Ready for another easy fall craft? Today we're combining my love for color, paint chip crafts, and fall leaves. We're making Color Wheel Inspired Fall Wreaths!
I took an art class last semester and had a lot of fun learning about color theory using the color wheel. Since we've been learning about fall and the changing leaves, my son and I made this fall wreath together.

Gorgeous Accordion Fold Fall Paper Leaf Banner
Today we're continuing with the theme of easy fall crafts. Couple of days ago I shared this really beautiful Sewn Leaf Art project that I made with my preschooler. Today I just wanted to share this gorgeous folded paper leaf banner.
I came up with the idea after reading some fall-themed books with my son. Seeing all the beautiful colored leaves in the books made me miss the fall leaves back on the East coast. And then it hit me- why not make our own? Bring a bit of fall to our forever-summer state. And so, my son and I got to making and painting together. The results came out so beautiful that he insisted we hang the banner up in his room to spruce it up.

Maple Syrup Candy + Craft Fail book review!
Now that the weather is a bit chillier, I thought it would be fun to do more fall and winter crafts and activities. I loved reading the Little House on the Prairie series as a child and always wanted to try doing the things Laura did. Last year, we made homemade butter from heavy cream. This year, we tried our hand at making homemade maple syrup candy!

2-Ingredient Puffy Paint Fall Leaves
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind myself that it's fall. (I'm just not used to warm temperatures at this time of year.) Chuck and I enjoyed doing fall crafts back in Jersey, so I thought we should try doing some fall crafts here too... even though it doesn't quite feel fall yet...
During a nature walk, we counted quite a few red trees outside. Boy, was I surprised! So we drew inspiration from them and made these two-ingredient Homemade Puffy Paint Fall Leaves!

Awhile back we had some success making gluten free homemade puffy paint. But I was feeling kind of lazy and didn't have all the right materials on hand. Luckily, we found a super easy recipe for puffy paint on several blogs, and tried it out.
I'll bet you could easily make this puffy paint today. You probably have all the ingredients already at home.

DIY Recycled Terrarium
Do you craft with cork? While I love making cardboard crafts, lately I've been trying to push myself a bit and try out new materials. Last weekend I picked up these funny shaped cork plugs at our local Art Scrap store because they reminded me of mushrooms. So I painted them, gave a couple to Chuck to play with, and placed one inside a lovely DIY Terrarium made from recycled materials.
I love the idea of creating small, beautiful, magical worlds. This would certainly be a wonderful fall craft for kids. Oooh, wouldn't they look lovely as kid-made Thanksgiving centerpieces too?
Ok! Let's put on our fairy wings and let's get making!
