Let’s bring out the beauty of Autumn with this easy-to-set up sensory tray!

Autumn or Fall is almost here and we are looking forward to many arts and crafts! We love how the leaves change colors as the days become colder. It is one of the best times of the year for activities and sensory plays!

Here is a quick after school activity I set up for Nate using these wonderful Autumn decorations from Action NL.

I also made the gnomes’ clothing from felt and attached them into the wooden peg dolls using hot glue.
