20 Autumn Crafts Using Real Fall Leaves

August 25, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

Do you know what makes a great craft material? Free material. So when you can go outside and pick up your own craft supplies from the ground, to me that is amazing. Make the most of these crafts made using real leaves by extending the activity. Take the kids for a walk to collect the leaves, choose leaves of varying colors and sizes depending on which craft project you have decided to make.

All of these crafts use real leaves, but of course, if it is not Autumn or you do not have access to real leaves then you can substitute them for plastic fall leaves. (I promise I won’t be too disappointed)
