Whether you’re looking to keep your little ones constructively occupied or looking to improve their fine motor skills, this beautiful colors of fall craft project has your name written all over it!
Cutting up the rolls into smaller pieces was great scissors practice for our little one. As was painting carefully within the boundaries. I love that this project upcycles items commonly found in the house and out in nature. It comes together easily and is so much fun!
