Fall Themed Crafts & Activities

Make the best of the Fall season with some fun craft activities to spread joy and creativity! Use fall colors like brown, yellow, red, and orange to create a festive project for kids or adults. Check out these DIY crafts that you can use to decorate your home or learning space.

Hanging Leaf Decoration

We love how this wood leaves craft kit can be used to make so many different fall decorations! Follow the included guide to make the leaf ornaments, or you can branch out to make hanging leaf decorations like these! We colored the leaves with the included markers, then strung them on jute string. You can also use the leaves as stencils for other craft projects! The kit comes with 48 leaves, 12 each of 4 different leaf shapes.

Fall Bracelets

Add some jewelry making to your activity calendar this fall! Our wooden bead assortment is perfect because it has brown, orange, and red. You can also add a pop of color with our other wooden jewelry bead mix that includes fuchsia. Get creative with different patterns – each bracelet or necklace will look unique!

Sand Art Candles

Sand art is one of my favorite crafts activities. You can make themed sand art for all seasons and holidays. You can use a glass or plastic container or mason jars, dowels, 6 bags of fine sand, and some votive candles. The colors we used are orange, red, and yellow. We made 3 different designs. After you pour your sand in, add the candle to the top. You may have to push and turn the candle a few times so it goes into the sand far enough.

Materials:

• Glass container or mason jar
• Sand
• Wood dowels (or toothpicks)

Instructions:

• Three layers & colors: Pour equal amounts of each color on top of each other, making 3 layers. Place the candle in the center.
• Six layers with design: Pour equal amounts of each color on top of each other, this time using less of each so you can make six layers instead of three. Use the included wooden dowel to create designs down the side.
• Blended colors: Have fun mixing sand colors to get some different fall colors! We mixed yellow and orange, and orange and red.

Fall Leaf People

A great craft for young kids! Use construction paper to create leaf cutouts or you can use real leaves! Add wiggly eyes and make the leaves come to life. View the tutorial here.

Faux Maple Leaves

Looking for a simple centerpiece for your holiday table? Try faux maple leaves in a clear glass vase. You can also use these leaves or our printed leaves to make a fall wreath, or paint them with gold or glitter to add an even more crafty look. View the examples below, plus find more on Pinterest!

Wood Leaf Necklace

The perfect fall season accessory! This makes a fun fall craft for kids age. The wood leaf necklace kit comes with 12 projects total, and includes the wood leaves with holes in the stems for stringing, wood beads, hemp cord and markers.

For the yellow and red leaves, we used a brown/dark green marker and lightly drew a few lines in the center for the stem. Remember, the marker will bleed a bit since you are coloring on wood. Then string the cord through to make the necklace. For the beads, have fun mixing and matching the number of wooden beads and the colors to match the leaves.

Tip: Coloring the small wood beads is fun, but messy. You will get marker on your fingers, so just be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after.
