Summer is at an end, the leaves are starting to change colour and we've been preparing for the autumn days to come.
Inspired by i {heart} crafty things we used an old, incomplete 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle to make an autumn tree picture. We chose autumn coloured puzzle pieces for the leaves and used an old brown envelope for the trunk.
With the puzzle box and leftover puzzle pieces we made an autumn sensory tub.
We made a new autumn window display (with clear plastic coverfilm) using leaves, sunflower petals and sunflower seeds,
and a leaves poster (with a page from a sticker book).
We've also started an autumn fairy garden.
If you have a post about an autumn craft or activity, or any post with an autumn theme, we'd love you to link up at our All Year Round Blog Carnival: Autumn, which is open for new links until December.
