Family Days Tried And Tested

What is there not to love about Autumn! With all the beautiful colours it’s the perfect time to head out to find natural resources to have fun with. Here are some of our favourite ideas…

AUTUMN CROWNS

 I folded a piece of card in half and then used tape to make it into a circle to fit Noah’s head. He picked leaves up and popped them into the folded card as we walked to make his crown.

AUTUMN LANTERNS

We made an autumn lantern simply by soaking leaves in PVA glue for half an hour to soften them and then sticking them to a jar. We then popped in a tealight.

AUTUMN NECKLACES 

For our autumn necklace we took a large needle with thin string attached to thread through the leaves we collected.

AUTUMN PICTURE FRAME

We used a piece of cardboard (a cereal box) and cut out a hole for the picture and folded the card so it would stand up. We collected leaves, laminated them and stuck them to the cardboard. We finished by printing a picture that we stuck to the card frame.

We’ve plenty more nature play ideas and our beach activities are a great excuse to head to the seaside.
