Leaf Rubbings

For a fun fall activity, you can make leaf rubbings. Go on a nature walk with your children to collect different shaped leaves.
Put the leaf on a table and put a piece of paper over it. Using the side of a crayon with no wrapper, rub over the leaf until the leaf shape comes through.

Fall Flashlight Walk

This is an easy, free, simple, and fun activity that the kids really love. On a warm fall night, after it gets dark, arm your kids with flashlights and go for a "flashlight walk".  You can walk around the block, walk in a park or along a bike trail. We did half in a park and half around the block and visited all of the halloween decorations in peoples' lawns.
It's even more fun if you get together with another family to do it.  All of the kids got such a kick out of walking in the dark and playing with their flashlights!

Pretzel Trees

Items Needed
Blue construction paper
leaves - preferably small ones
skinny pretzel sticks
glue

This is a fun fall craft. Take the kids "leaf picking". Collect small leaves from bushes, trees, or fallen branches.
Glue several pretzel sticks onto the paper as the tree trunk. Then glue other sticks fanning out from the trunk, like tree limbs.
Let the glue dry. (Otherwise, the pretzel sticks will slide around). Then glue the leaves around the pretzel "branches".

Thanksgiving Candy Corn Turkeys

Items Needed
paper plates
brown construction paper
candy corn
black marker

Cut out a brown turkey head and body (kind of like the shape of a bowling ball with a circle on top.)
Glue it to a paper plate. Then let the kids glue candy corn on like turkey feathers. 
It's a good way to use up leftover halloween candy corn!
