The air is getting cooler, we have sorted our sweaters and we’ve reminded the kids where the coat corner is at my learning center, Le Chemin ABA. It is officially Fall which is wonderful for so many reasons. I love Fall, don’t you?! One of the reasons I love Fall, is that it is so much fun to engage the kids in Fall crafts. On this list, you will find some of my all-time favorite Fall crafts for kids! These crafts are suitable for any and all kids and are on my list of best Fall special needs kids crafts.
4 Amazing Fall Crafts for Kids with Special Needs

Apple pie playdough printing by Emma Owl
Playdough printing (also known as playdough stamping) is SO.MUCH.FUN! You can start by preparing the apply pie scented playdough with your child. Preparing playdough is a great functional skill as it teaches your child to follow several steps towards a particular goal. It also has a lot of sensory appeal as your child will get to smell the lovely scent of apple pie scented playdough and touch all of the ingredients necessary to prepare it.
Playdough printing will help your child build a variety of skills : fine motor skills (hand strength and precision), following instructions and increasing concentration and focus.
