Inside: Find favourite Etsy picks for kids to enjoy fall themed activities.

For busy moms it can be hard to find time for kids activities and craft project preparation. It is easy to make single batch of play dough that will last, but when you have tons of things to do, run errands, cook, clean… that simple batch seems like climbing to a mountain.

We have 5 easy art and craft projects that we rotate from week to week. I also love to have kids activities pre made to just pull out on a days when things are not going as we planned. Also, lots of times I make our own toys, puppets for storytelling or craft project kits.

If you are busy mom like me, you know life sometimes become hectic and you have extra on your plate. There is when Etsy handmade market comes handy.

Over time I found good balance between activities and toys that I craft on my own and purchased handcrafted toys. Being an Etsy seller, I love to support other people with small business and get already pre made craft kits for kids from them that will save me time. Win – win if you ask me.

Fall is one of those seasons with lots of things going on.

School starts with its obligations, new routines, homework, lunch and snack preparation. Also, weather is cooler and rainy days keep you indoors on the most of the days. All that falls hard on kids.

Finally, Halloween comes so fast every time and if you are DIY-er, that means extra hours spent on Halloween decorations, ghost crafts and costume making.

Fall is inspiring for all aspects of creating that is shame to miss fun just because you are busy to get everything ready.

Here I share true handcrafted life savers when it comes to fall kids activities. You won’t be sorry to spent some money because those kits and toys are made with love and care, same as you would make for your children.

They are great or indoor quality and creative time, perfect to enjoy fall and spent some screen free time.
