The vibrant colours and falling leaves in our yard have inspired me to make this terrific leaf-matching activity for toddlers and preschoolers.

It's great for teaching kids how to match colours, patterns, shapes and sizes. It will also strengthen fine-motor skills and co-ordination.

Young children will love exploring fall colours this way, making marks and blending colours with their non-traditional "paint brushes".

This is a great art activity to do as a group, but it's excellent for individuals as well!

Hope November is going well for you and your littles!

If you can squeeze in one more fall leaf craft, this one is a beauty.

It's one of those good old-fashioned art techniques you'll remember from your childhood and the results are so pretty! I personally think it would look lovely framed.

It's a great art activity for kids to do on their own or in your classroom for art class. :)

We made these stunning, glittered leaf ornaments using our easy clay dough recipe. It's made with just 2 kitchen ingredients and water.

This is a wonderful fall craft for big kids, but easy enough to make with toddlers and preschoolers.

They'd be perfect to display as place holders on your Thanksgiving table, or you could hang them from some small branches and display them in a vase.

I think they'd double as excellent Christmas tree ornaments too, don't you?

I know, I know. Yesterday, I said our gorgeous leaf sun catcher would be our last Fall craft for the season, and that we were ready to shift into Christmas craft mode.

Check out this shimmering, vibrant Fall leaf mobile! It was super-easy to make, using things we already had in and around the house.
