20 Fall Art Projects You Must Try

I truly think that Autumn is my favourite month. The berry picking, the stunning colours, the fabulous nature finds like chestnuts and pinecones, the start of cosy evenings in front of the fire….ahhh bliss, I just love it all! To help us explore all the wonderful Autumn colours I have put together 20 fall art projects you must try!

I’m guessing that you’ve probably tired lots of fall art projects over the years and it can get to feel a bit same old, same old can’t it, especially if you’re working in a childcare setting and need fall art ideas for every day of the week! I hope that these fall art projects will get you excited to get out the red, orange and yellow paints and explore autumn colours in lots of new and exciting ways. You’re not going to want to miss a single one, they really are all so much fun!

Make this Autumn art season one to remember!
