Autumn is a perfect time to do crafts with children, they love it and they are entertained!
When you have a child your life changes completely . There are many activities in your daily life that you must modify in order to adapt to the needs of the little ones, being able to attend to them at all times as long as they feel healthy, cared for, but also loved. Therefore, it is essential to find a moment, every day, to dedicate it to your children, not only to do their homework or educate them, something essential from birth, but also to take advantage of leisure time, playing games that they like. both inside and outside the home.

CRAFTS IN AUTUMN, EXCELLENT LEISURE TIME
Remember that these leisure activities can be carried out with your friends or in the extracurricular activities to which you have signed up, but you will also enjoy them to a great extent if you do them with you. Strengthening the bond between parents and children will be key if you want the little ones to trust you and appreciate you , since with material objects you will not be able to forge this feeling, or with a more or less strict education. Spending free time with your child will help you to get to know each other better, but also to build memories together that will last a lifetime.
It is very likely that you run out of ideas when looking for activities with your children or you think that most of them involve a great expense of money. You do not have to go to an amusement park, the cinema or the zoo to have a good time with the children and have them have fun. You can also look for activities to do outdoors, such as playing with them in the park or going for a walk in the mountains, that will not cost as much money and that they will also enjoy greatly.
Perhaps, once you have carried out these activities or on a day when the weather is not good, you don’t want to leave the house, but you would like to distract the children and have a good time. A great way to do this is by playing board games or doing crafts. You may think that you are not good at carrying out this activity, but there are some simple crafts for children, which you can also do step by step and enjoy them with the little ones in the house .
During the autumn, temperatures drop, it starts to rain more often and it gets dark earlier, so it is normal that you have less desire to do activities outside the home. However, children will conserve all of their energy and you may need to find a way to distract them. Your child may even have a cold and haven’t been able to go to school. If you don’t want him to spend the whole day in front of the TV, a fun alternative for both of you and from which you can also learn is to do a craft.
Since we are in the fall season of the year, it would be ideal to make a thematic craft, that is, related to this time of year. In addition, at the end of October the Halloween party is celebrated , so you could take the opportunity to make some decorative crafts to put at home during this special night.
HOW TO CHOOSE A CRAFT
There are many ideas for crafts that you can find on the net, but you should be aware that, depending on your skill when making them or the age of the children, it may not be as easy to carry them out as it seems. You should always look for a craft that they can make easily and whose materials are easy to get . If the activity becomes too complex, neither you nor the children will enjoy the process and the result may not be as expected, which can frustrate your expectations and make the child not enjoy the experience and do not want to repeat it again.
Therefore, it is better that the craft is simple and fun . This implies that the child can have the maximum possible autonomy, without having to constantly ask you to help him. This way you will see that you are capable of doing this activity on your own and you will be much more proud of the result. You can go doing the craft at the same time so that you can follow your steps or have it already done beforehand, so that you have a reference when it comes to doing it.
FALL INSPIRED CRAFTS
There are many simple crafts for children that we can carry out this fall. One of the most fun is the one in which they must collect material of the same nature . Although we live in a big city, we can also carry out this task, since for them we will only need dry leaves from the trees, of those that are already on the ground, pinecones or other autumn fruits that we can find.
Be careful when collecting these leaves and nuts from the ground . Children should always take them under your supervision and try to ensure that they are not stained or that they are not near something that could harm them. If your child has contact allergies, perhaps it would be better to do this task with gloves or to look for an alternative craft, just in case.
With the dry leaves of the tree, we can draw a large tree on a mural at home that the children will have to color with hand paint, if we wish, and then glue the leaves on its glass. With a pineapple, for example, we can decorate it with googly eyes, recreating a face and turning it into its pet . Finally, we can cut out a large circle and paste the dry leaves and fruits that we have found, creating a large autumn wreath , which we can paste on the outside of the front door of the home, always using glue and paint suitable for children.
HALLOWEEN-INSPIRED CRAFTS
Autumn is the time of year that most reminds us of this famous celebration. During the night of the dead we can decorate our house with a multitude of terrifying motifs . Therefore, we can take this great opportunity to do crafts with children. Write it down for each year! You can create a monster with a sock, adding eyes, horns or a mouth, or create a simple ghost costume, with a sheet and paint of different colors. Help your children to empty a pumpkin and with colors (never children with a knife) draw the face of the terrifying pumpkin that will decorate your house during these special days.
There are many crafts that you can find related to this topic, but you should always make sure that you can get the materials suitable for children easily, that it is easy for them to carry out and that you can do them at home, having enough space and counting that they are children and that they may accidentally stain furniture, so you should have everything prepared and be willing to have a great time with them doing crafts, learning and enjoying creating beautiful decorations that you can keep forever .
