by Jen Tilley on September 11th, 2020 | 3 Comments »

Fall Crafts—Sweaters, boots, jeans, pumpkin-filled treats, oranges, reds, leaves, apples, cider...all of these items have one thing in common: Fall. The first day of Fall was this past Friday. Can you believe it? I don't know about you but it feels like yesteday we were just heading into the summer months. The days, months, and years keep flying by.

Some are sad to see the warm summer months transition into the cool, crisp days of Fall. However, if you're anything like me, you cannot wait to embrace this season with open arms. I've already decorated my home with fall decor, baked my first pumpkin-filled treat of the season, and have started a countdown of our trip to Michigan during which I can visit one of my favorite places, The Franklin Cider Mill.

Have you and your kids embraced the fall season yet? Thanks to our past contributors, here are five creative Fall activities that will help you celebrate the season, decorate your home, and prepare you for Halloween.
