Host a Craft Fall Party For The Kids

Fall is here and we are SO excited! We love everything this beautiful season brings! Inspired by our family’s love for pumpkin patches and apple cider, we hosted this sweet fall party, complete with a fun craft idea – DIY pumpkin patch cards using Nellie’s Free Range egg cartons!

Finding fun and creative ways to repurpose packaging was a really great way for the kids and I to make a good choice for the environment, while also enjoying our time together! I love being able to feel good about the choices we make, and that’s why I loved partnering with Nellie’s Free Range on this – I can feel good buying their eggs knowing that the hens spend their time on Certified Humane farms, where they’re given the opportunity to free range and enjoy high quality feed!

We also created a pumpkin spice cupcake recipe and outlined everything you need to decorate your own scarecrow cupcakes. I mean, how cute did they turn out?!

I set up a kids’ table and made it fun by incorporating pumpkin plates to carry on the fall/pumpkin patch theme! I used real pumpkins as centerpieces and a darling pom pom felt garland for a fun pop of color.

For our backdrop, I created a balloon garland and added gold glittered fall leaves I purchased at my local craft store.

The kids enjoyed cake, scarecrow pumpkin spice cupcakes, and apple cider – we have to make the most of these delicious seasonal flavors before winter.

I also used a faux gold pumpkin I had in my inventory and added a fun touch by hand painting part of it purple. I used purple sprinkles to add texture. It made the perfect cake topper!

After the kids were finished their pumpkin patch cards, they wrote Thankful notes to someone special. They can’t wait to hand the cards to Nana & Papa, who are coming to town to spend Thanksgiving with us!
