Pumpkin Emotions Halloween Craft for Kids
Nothing is more synonymous with Halloween than the super expressive pumpkins. With their cut-out eyes, nose and mouth, they convey the fun yet scary emotions understandable by even the youngest children.
We thought it would be educational to focus on how small shape variations in eyes and mouth can convey emotions as wide as smiling and scary. So, we made this Pumpkin Emotions Craft for Halloween with a twisted personality!
Be careful folks - one second it’s smiling & cute and in the other menacing & scary!

Magnetic Squirrel and Acorn Fall Craft
Our house has a few large trees close to the balcony deck. The trees are home to a few squirrels and our toddler has come to adore their cute antics. Her favourite is when the squirrel grabs an acorn and nibbles away at it with her teeth and hands. So cute!
In fall, Acorns fall to the ground and squirrels pick them up burying them for use in the winter hibernation season. Often, not all the acorns get consumed leading to the birth of new oak trees in a few months. And, these natural cycles continue.
Magnetic Fall Leaf Craft
Fall brings some of the most contrasting and beautiful images in nature. The different colors that leaves take, the eventual falling and the beautiful mosaics on the ground make fall an artist’s playground.
Equally importantly, fall plays such a huge role in keeping nature healthy by completing the circle of life for plants where the fallen leaves become nurturing food for the tree’s future growth.

Paper Leaf Garland
End-of-year is festive season and the amazing Indian festival of lights (Diwali) is almost here. It is said that the Goddess of wealth "Lakshmi" visits people's homes during Diwali. To welcome her, people clean their homes, light up charming light lamps and set-up colorful garlands on doors.
So, for this Diwali, my daughter and I created this leaf garland for our house. It is such a simple craft to make, my daughter had a great time playing with the leaves and putting a thread through them.
Two-year-olds have infinite energy and engaging them in festive crafts is a great way to teach them about the festival while helping them develop their creativity and keeping them away from the screen. Try it out - we now have a lovely paper leaf garland to welcome Goddess Lakshmi this Diwali.
This also makes for a nice and colorful fall theme craft.
