Are these fall crafts good for other ages too?

Yes, of course! 3 year olds learn best through play and hands-on activities. So, while crafting isn’t as open-ended as other types of play, it can still be an effective method of learning while creating with their hands. 

However, these crafts are great for 2 year olds as well as older preschool/kindergarteners. Younger  children might need more assistance with scissors and glue, and older children might enjoy more questions that get them thinking about what they are creating and why. 

“I wonder” questions are perfect for older children while crafting:

  • “I wonder why the leaves change color in the fall…”
  • “I wonder why pumpkins are so popular in the fall…”
  • “I wonder what would happen if we put these two colors together…”
