Fall is one of the best times of the year.
There’s so much to look forward to. From cooler weather to apple cider to apple picking and best of all:
The kids are back in school!
Ok, all joking aside, we really do love fall around our home. To us, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season and a time to be with family and build memories.
But there’s another type of building we’ve been doing lately that my kids just can’t seem to get enough of.
Building characters on our fall pattern block mats.
We’ve created a few different pattern block mats for kids in the past including these but to us, these fall ones are the cutest so far!
