Autumn Activities for Kids

Autumn Activities for Kids

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.

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 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.

This lad and I climbed to the top of the tower thi This lad and I climbed to the top of the tower this morning to watch the sunrise over a frosty town. It was a treat for doing well with his school work this week, as part of that school work he’s been learning about the Preseli mountains which we were able to see snow covered in the distance...just half an hour out of our day, just him and I 🙂
