Do any of you have any great, kid-friendly fall and Halloween craft ideas to share? I'm more than ready to welcome fall and would love some fun ideas of things to do with a 10 and 11 year old.

I tried to include a picture, but I don't see how! I did a great craft the other day (with my boyfriend), I'm so proud of it!! We took a circular piece of wood, and wound black and orange yarn to look like a spiderweb. Black yarn across four ways (like a pizza), and then orange yarn connecting each strand in concentric circles going out. Then, we used spray adhesive on the wood, and attached a black feather boa (cutting it to size). Then spray adhesive ON the boa, and sprinkled purple glitter on it. Finally, we put a "skull spider" on the web, he was like $1.99 at the craft store. TOTALLY cute, came out really nice! Wish I could have attached a picture for you. Good luck!

last fall i took my son for a walk and had him collect leaves off the ground. he was only 2 but he loved to pick up all the leaves he saw! then we brought them home and i put them between two sheets of wax paper and ironed it on low heat until the wax paper melted together. then i let him help me hang them on the windows- it's a sort of stained glass kindof thing. it looks cute and he thought it was the greatest thing. i don't know if your kids are too old for that. :) good luck!
