A Fun Way to Celebrate the First Day of Autumn.

September 23rd is the first day of Autumn, my absolute favorite time of year!
The weather is perfect, the scenery starts changing, and it is the perfect time to update those family photos before the chaos of the holidays sets in.

Celebrate this fun time with your little ones with these adorable crafts and treats, or even make them for yourself.

Fall Leaf Mobile
Create fall leaf cutouts from construction paper, fine cardboard or felt. Tape the leaves to thin ribbons, string or twine. Attach each string to a small branch and hang it where it can spin freely for all to enjoy!
