Fall Toddler Crafts
I always found doing crafts with my toddlers was a great way to give them joy with the changing seasons, and fall was the best time.
We used to use nature that we would find on walks and create murals on the basement door. We also loved to do paper crafts. Today, I am sharing some really good crafts you can do with your toddlers to help them enjoy the fall that much more!
Paper Plate Sunflower
We decided to get crafty on a rainy day and bring brightness, warmth, and joy to our home by making this cute paper plate sunflower craft!
These cheerful sunflowers are perfect for making with your kids during Summer or Fall, as sunflowers bloom in both seasons.
They are super easy to make and require very few materials that I’m sure you have readily available at home or in your classroom.

Candy corn is an iconic fall-time candy that almost everyone has had at least once. Whether we like the taste or not, it can easily be considered one of the main elements in fall time décor. That’s why making candy corn out of popsicle sticks are also great fall craft for kids.
