5 fun fall crafts for the kids (and kids at heart)

The end of daylight savings time is right around the corner (November 3rd for those trying to ignore the warnings) which means less afterschool day light. Which means more time trying to occupy the littles who would otherwise be on the monkey bars.

Enter our favorite past time – kids crafts! We’ve rounded up 5 fun fall kids crafts from around the web that we think would be fun for both you AND your littlest family members and friends.
