    This handprint painting is a fun Fall arts and crafts that both kids and parents will have fun doing.

    There is so much fun to be had as a family in Fall and apple picking. Turning their fun into a fun apple craft can be not only fun for the kids, but truly fun for the whole family.

    Apple Picking Time

    If you were raised in San Diego County, you are probably like me and grew up going to Julian in September for their Apple Festival. My parents would load up the car, buckle us in, and make the hour-and-a-half trek up the Mountain.

    We’d pick apples, shop for crafts, get treats from the little soda fountain shop, and end our day with apple pie and ice cream. My brother and I would sleep the whole way home.

    Not sure how my parents did it, but I’m sure, not ready to make that journey with my two littles. Not yet anyway. Instead, we have our own version of apple picking time that can be done all through October and November.

    Today, the kids and I had a little reading time (One of my son's favorite books is Up Up Up! It's Apple Picking Time by Jody Shapiro), craft time, and followed it up with yummy apple slices to celebrate the season.

    Child Handprint Art

    The kids love fun handprint paint art projects as much as parents love the great keepsake it makes.

    There is something so fun about pulling these keepsakes out each holiday, in this case, Fall, and showcasing them with your other decoration.

    We love to pull this one at the beginning of Fall and leave it up through Thanksgiving.

    If you love footprints and hand print painting crafts as much as we do, then you will not want to miss some of our other popular posts including Turkey Handprint, Spider Handprint Craft, Easter Bunny Footprint Craft, and Halloween Footprints.

    We love keeping this keepsake in our Fall decorations and pulling it out each year. It makes my heart swell every time I look at those little handprints and remember when they were itty bitty and how much fun we had. Plus it makes for a great refrigerator artwork.
