The Fall Equinox is just around the corner—arriving on September 22nd this year! That means equal parts day and night, a cool shift in the air, and the perfect time to cozy up and explore the magic of the changing seasons with your child.
The Fall Equinox is a great opportunity to chat about the science behind the seasons, discover how different cultures celebrate this special time of balance, and, of course, get creative with some autumn-inspired crafts!
These fall equinox crafts for kids are great for little hands and big imaginations. Think leaf-themed art, harvest-inspired playdough, festive decorations, and more ways to bring a little seasonal magic into your home.
Ready to fall into some fun? Let’s go!
Fall Equinox Crafts for Kids
These sweet little fairy crafts are a delight for all ages—even parents might want to join in! This activity comes from my resource Seasonal Living with Littles and is a lovely way to welcome the changing seasons. Hang them in a sunny window, add them to your child’s nature table, or use them as a whimsical fall decoration in their room.
Great for kids of all ages—and the results are absolutely beautiful. All you need is a potato (or two… or maybe a few more). This craft is such a hit, you’ll probably find yourself reaching for more potatoes before you know it!
What better way to celebrate the fall equinox than with a crown! Use twine and leaves to create a regal crown for fall! Great for fine motor skills, and just plain fun! Love when fall crafts start with an exploration outside.

Fall brings all kinds of changes in nature—especially those beautiful leaves!
