Autumn is such a magical time of year with the cooling temps, the warm hues, and the beginning of comfort-food cooking.

The weather is perfect for going outside to collect nature items like leaves and acorns and there are so many things you can make with them. Use your leaves as the main craft material, or as inspiration for your project.

Today we have a huge range of gorgeous art and craft ideas suitable for different age groups. Some are from our own craft library but most of them are from kid bloggers and crafters around the world.
