The Autumnal Equinox, also known as fall, officially arrives next week on September 22nd at 10:29 pm EST, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Already, the leaves are beginning their seasonal shows of red, orange and yellow splendor in parts of the U.S., while pumpkins of various hues are being harvested from farms and fields.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cut graham cracters in half crosss-wise with a sharp knife for nice straight edges
3. Cover cookie sheet with foil (to make cleaning later easier) & place graham crackers in pan with some space in between
4. Get the kids to help you flatten the marshmallows a bit by gently smashing them down with the palm of the hand, then place one each atop a graham cracker
5. Bake until marshmallows have puffed up and they are a toasty, light brown caramel color, this will happen quickly so be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn
6. Remove cookie sheet from oven and transfer hot graham crackers onto a either a serving plate or individual plates - remember to handle carefully, these will be hot
7. While still warm gently flatten the toasted marshmallows with a spatula some more, then smooth a small circle of peanut butter on top
8. Next add your choice of fall sprinkle or sugar directly on top of the peanut butter so it sticks
9. Then firmly press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of the area covered in sprinkles deep enough into the warm marshmallow so it melts
10. Everyone young and old is going to love these, so you might want to make a double batch

Not into baking or cooking? Instead, how about trying your hand at a fall project that even the creatively-challenged can excel at creating? What's more is, depending on your child's age and developmental skills, perhaps this is an arts & crafts project you can do together.

Here's the perfect easy, fun fall DIY project -- Make a decorative Spiced Orange. All you need is an orange, some toothpicks, a thimble, whole cloves and ribbon (optional).
Directions
1. Take orange and poke tiny holes in the peel with toothpicks to make inserting cloves easier
2. Protecting your finger with a thimble, pressing cloves into the holes in the orange skin and making either a pattern or covering the entire orange
3. To add interest, try peeling decorative strips out of the orange peel and inserting cloves there
4. Display them in a bowl as a grouping or individually by attaching a ribbon to hang them around your home

Another idea: Using an orange as your canvas along with some whole cloves, a shrunk down image of a pumpkin carving stencil of your choice, and a black permanent magic marker make a Clove Studded Mini Jack 'O Lantern. Just transfer a stencil that fits your orange with a black magic marker then add cloves for a decorative effect using the same technique as the basic Spiced Orange project. There are plenty of free Halloween templates you can choose from on the Internet such as the crow silohouette shown above.
