Portland Children's Museum Today would be a great day for crafts with leaves. Maybe something like http://baby.families.com/blog/leaf-crafts-for-toddlers . Do you have any fun ideas?

It's just about fall! The older kids are heading back to school. If you are looking for crafty activities to do with your baby or toddler, here are a few fun ideas. If you have preschoolers too, be sure to check out these fun end of summer and beginning of fall ideas as well!

My 3yo did a cute one at preschool. They did a paint print on paper with their hand and forearm and that made the base of a tree. Once it was dry, they glued dried leaves onto the fingers. They also glued grass at the base. Very sweet.

I let the kids help every year. This year I think I'll let them use hammers. Now there's a scary thought: a 6 year old boy with a hammer and a pumpkin. LOL.

We don't carve also, we decorate them with paint, feathers, any other craft trim that is laying around.
