Thanksgiving Activities for Kids: 6 Fun & Cheap Fall Crafts & Activities for Families by Mei Marcie

Autumn is a great time to do seasonal activities – that won't cost a lot – with your child. Here are some of my favorites:

• Collect Leaves – Enjoy nature's beauty and creativity and burn some calories walking, too.

• Make Your Own Fall Tree – Use sticks and leaves to create a fun fall tree. You can even make it into a family tree.

• Make a Leaf Brooch or Magnet – Laminate a leaf, add a safety pin to a brooch or magnetic strip to make a fridge magnet.

• Picture Frame – Use leaves and twigs to decorate a plain frame.

• Postcards – Spray paint leaves and make a postcard for family.

• Leaf Art – Let leaves come to life by cutting them into shapes and gluing them on paper to create fun pictures. Frame and hang on the wall.

Make time for kids' activities to stay connected to your children.
