20 Autumn Crafts Using Real Fall Leaves

August 25, by Shellie Wilson.

Crafting is not only a fun way to pass the time but also a great opportunity to bond with your kids while encouraging their creativity. And when it comes to crafting, using free and natural materials is a fantastic way to incorporate the beauty of the outdoors into your indoor activities. Imagine the excitement in your child’s eyes when you take them for a walk to collect leaves for your upcoming craft projects. With this in mind, I’d like to share some amazing leaf crafts that are perfect for incorporating natural elements into your crafting.

The best part about these leaf crafts is that they use real leaves that you can collect yourself during a nature walk, making them a budget-friendly option that is both environmentally friendly and fun! And if you can’t find real leaves or it’s not autumn, don’t worry – you can always substitute them with plastic fall leaves.

Make the most of these crafts by involving your kids in the leaf-collecting process. Encourage them to choose leaves of varying colors and sizes depending on the project you have in mind. This is not only a great way to get outside and enjoy nature, but also an opportunity to teach your kids about the beauty of the natural world. So, gather your supplies and get ready to create some beautiful and unique leaf crafts with your little ones!

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)
