These beautiful yarn wrapped fall shapes are a wonderful craft for older toddlers, preschoolers, or elementary kids to make as the weather starts to turn cooler. There's just something awfully cozy about yarn, isn't there? It also doesn't hurt that making these little shapes will provide fantastic fine motor work for your kids. My daughter, Lena, enjoyed making these as part of our Fall Theme Home Preschool Week when she was 4 years old.

You'll need some yarn in fall colors. I happen to be a knitter (or, at least I was, at some point) so I had tons of pretty colors to choose from.
Start by drawing some simple fall shapes on some box board or thin cardboard. Cut them out. We did some leaves, pumpkins, apples, and acorns. Cut little notches all the way around (it will give the yarn something to grab on to, especially around the curvier curves).
Secure the yarn to the back of your shapes with tape and wrap away! Lena did some of them all criss cross and others very neat and tidy.
This activity promotes fine motor development and is also a great sensory experience. The softness of the yarn running through your fingers feels great!
Wasn't that easy? And fun, too! Be sure to check out the rest of our Fall Crafts and Activities!
