Fall Crafts with Leaves

Gorgeous Fall Leaves Crafts – Going on a nature walk to bring the fall colors indoors is very much my kind of thing.  I love fall leaf crafts for preschool! We have numerous crafts that will beautify your space, but we have also snuck in some fall leaf learning activities too!  You are officially running out of reasons to NOT go outside and collect leaves.  Free learning and crafting tools at your fingertips!

Embossed Tin Leaves – This is the perfect activity for introducing your child to the technique of embossing!  This project is a fabulous sensory experience at every stage and turns into a stunning craft!

Sticking it to Fall Crafts – This simple preschool craft for fall is actually very engaging for kids of all ages.  Kids get to build a fall tree scene with tissue paper, which is always a favorite! I find little ones love to walk up to the tree and change the “leaves” around some times, so this will keep them engaged for a while!

A Pretty Autumn Crafts for Preschoolers – Combining nature and man-made materials for crafting can produce such wonderful results. We really enjoyed making this tissue paper tree and would love to use it as a centerpiece in the near future!

Fall Leaf Letters – Invite your child on an epic adventure to search for the most beautiful leaves in all the land.  Come home, stick them on contact paper and cut your leafy paper into the letters of their name!  Nature learning and literacy all in one!

Sewing a Fall Leaf Crown – Forgive me. Perhaps we should have placed this post before the previous one.  You can’t possibly be well-equipped to “search for the most beautiful leaves in all the land” without the appropriate gear.  Here we show you how easy it is to sew a leaf crown with some twine and a darning needle.

Pretend Fall Leaves Crafts

Fall Tree Paint Blowing – It is often essential at our house that our preschool crafts for fall satisfy a broad age range.  Blowing paint is one of those creative experiences that delight any child – and it’s actually low-mess art!  This craft ties in nicely with learning about color mixing, parts of a tree or why leaves change colour.

A Fall Leaf Potato Stamp – Potatoes make perfect leaf stamps for fall crafting, especially if you use our “special trick.” This craft is easy to do and easy to clean-up.  Older kids can get creative with how they cut out and shape their stamp.

Other Adorable Preschool Crafts for Fall

A pumpkin pinwheel – Make a craft, learn about motion and… optics?  The nerd in me just loves these layers of learning.  I saw your raised eyebrow when you read the title and saw the picture.  Um, that’s a bit of stretch, Sarah – where’s the pumpkin?  When you spin it, the pumpkin emerges!  You’ll see!

Paper Plate Apples – Preschool crafts for fall don’t get much easier than this, folks!  There are fun ways you can add to this craft if you have older kids.  Weave in a sneaky worm, or cut some sides out to imitate a bitten apple!

Textured Owl Craft – This fall creation was quite literally a collaboration between my kiddos and I during an open-ended craft session.  We were inspired in the moment and used what we had on hand.  Create a similarly unique craft using whatever variety of materials you may have lying around, aiming for various textures.  See what you can come up with.  Maybe another textured owl? Or a hippo? Or a truck? Most importantly, remember to be present and have fun!

Don’t these fall crafts just fill you up with warm, cosy feelings? I tell you friends, memories are made in childhood with scissors and crayons in hand. Fall crafts for preschoolers are simply the best.

I hope you found a preschool craft for fall or two just perfect for you and your little one. Happy crafting friends!
