This post is filled with easy and meaningful crafts to make for the Biblical fall holidays of the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles! You can use these ideas to help kids learn about Scripture related to these special feast days, they can then be given as gifts, or used to decorate a sukkah or your home for the holidays as well. Making crafts like these can be fun and memorable ways for kids to learn about these times and celebrate the Biblical feasts!
Some of these craft projects would work for any of the feasts, while some pertain more to a specific holiday. For the Feast of Trumpets we do things like make noisemakers, while Yom Kippur crafts can connect more with the items in the Tabernacle or the story of Jonah, which is a common Bible passage to be read for this holiday. Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles calls for all sorts of camping related crafts, and reminders that God will one day dwell with us! These are simple crafts that can be made inexpensively, likely using elements you already have on hand.
Please note that I am recommending the craft, and not necessarily every detail of the lesson that goes with it - some of these aren't explicitly connected with Bible stories. The crafts are great starting points, and I'm sure we can come up with appropriate Biblical lessons to go with them if you wish. If you're not sure what that lesson could be - please reach out!

The focus in this lesson is reasons to fall in love with Jesus, but you could obviously change this to reasons to celebrate the feasts, reasons to be thankful, things Jesus did during Sukkot, etc.
These are cute decorations as is, but you could also write Bible verses on the strips of paper before assembling!
This works so well for the Feast of Tabernacles! Kids can make their own little backpacks out of brown paper bags too.
This really isn't intended as a Yom Kippur craft, but making a baby goat craft with your kids could build on a lesson about this Biblically significant day.
Learning about the Tabernacle and Temple can help give kids a better picture of what the Biblical holidays used to be like.
You could also turn this into a simple game.
