Fall is my favorite season. It comes early in northern Alberta, and we always enjoy the warm sunny days and cool nights that accompany it.

The leaves will start to change color soon; we will have that one perfect weekend when the hills are ablaze with yellow. It is breathtaking.

My kids always enjoyed the Fall. We would rake the leaves into huge piles, jump in them, and promptly undo all our hard work with a leaf fight!

We also enjoyed all kinds of fall crafts and pressed leaves between the pages of old books. Great memories!

I thought it would be helpful to make a collection of fun Fall crafts for you to enjoy with your kids, so I scoured the internet for the best Fall crafts I could find. Here are 50 easy prep ideas for you to choose from. Have fun!
