Autumn opens up a whole world of possibilities for making creative crafts with the little ones in the house. Whether taking advantage of the colors of nature this season or the imminent Halloween celebration.
The following ideas that are taking TikTok by storm will be entertaining, encourage your artistic skills, and stimulate your senses. In addition, they are perfect for spending quality time with the family and not abusing the use of screens. Depending on their age, you will have to help them to a greater or lesser extent, but all of them are easy to execute and they will love them.
With this craft you will greatly stimulate children’s creativity, since it even seems like magic. On a blank sheet of paper, draw the silhouette of a leaf with glue and then cover it with salt. Let it dry well before the next step. With watercolors and a brush, kids will be surprised to see that by placing a single drop of paint on the salt, the color expands across the surface, creating beautiful shapes and color transitions.
Draw the silhouette of a pumpkin on a sheet of paper and cut it out. Then, fill the gap with tape or electrical tape. Now is the time to go on a hike and have an entertaining and stimulating time looking for leaves of different shades to fill the pumpkin. A craft as simple as it is original.
For this craft you will need a cardboard box with a transparent surface. You can buy it directly, or cut out one of its walls and cover it with cellophane paper. Next, draw and cut out the trunk of a tree and several leaves. The trunk is glued to the base of the box, while the leaves are left loose inside it. Finally, make a hole in the upper part of the box, through which you insert a straw to blow the leaves simulating the wind.
Going into the Halloween aesthetic, you can decorate the house with some adorable ghost witches. For this craft you will need glass jars, artificial candles and a mop. It is as simple as inserting the artificial candle into the lid of the jar, closing it upside down and covering it with the mop, which you can stick with glue or silicone (the latter is always best done by an adult). Then, you cover the end of the mop with a witch’s hat made of cardboard and glue some cardboard eyes on it.
This craft, also with a Halloween theme, is perfect for entertaining and stimulating the little ones. You will need a plastic zip bag, in which to draw some spiders with a permanent marker. Then, fill the bag with soap and water, as well as a few fake eyes (found at many craft stores). Reinforce the zip closure with electrical tape so that there are no leaks. And so, this craft becomes a game in which children must put the eyes on the spiders.
