1. Pick a preschool fall craft to do together and have fun being creative together.

2. Decorate the front door – the wackier the better!

3. Pumpkin slime. Goop is a blast to play with. This goop is pumpkiny-orange.

4. Pumpkin pie play dough – this stuff smells SO good!

5. For an indoor kids activity, go on a spider hunt and see if you can find any cobwebs hiding in your house. After you dust them, create your own spider web using popsicle sticks, yarn, egg cartons and pipecleaners.

6. Do your kids collect acorns? Mine love to squirrel them away. This is a great kids painting activity using acorns to make art.

7. Make an art masterpiece “tree” by blowing a drip of paint across a page of paper. Use a q-tip to “dot” some leaves onto your tree. Discuss how the leaves are changing colors – it’s fall!!

8. Don’t have trees with colorful leaves? We don’t so I especially love this activity suggestion, make your own leave with Tie Dyed Coffee filters.

9. Build a catapult, take it outside and put a pebble or two inside. Watch them fly and measure how far the items went.

10. Create an owl craft with scraps of old magazines – my kids are in a cutting kick and would love this craft.
