Autumn

Autumn is quite possibly our favourite time of year – the weather isn’t so horrendous that you can’t venture outside; there are so many free resources to be found in the way of conkers, leaves, twigs; and nature comes alive with colour!

Here’s a few of the activities we got involved in this Autumn:

Autumn Walks

We set ourselves a target of going for an Autumnal walk every day for a week. We visited local parks and woodland and kept ourselves entertained along the way.

We splashed in muddy puddles, read up on the local wildlife, collected treasures and ALWAYS made sure we had a big flask of hot chocolate!

Natural Resources

Leaves and Sticks – We collected leaves and sticks, laminated the leaves and put them in size order before making a mobile for our window.

Conkers – We collected enough conkers to sink a battle ship and used them for so many activities; we made faces in playdough, mixed special potions, counted them into egg boxes and rolled them in paint.

Sensory Play – We used cornflour gloop and pine cones for a fun sensory experience on the tuff tray; made up our own batch of lavender playdough; and collected rainbow rice in conker shells!

Using the natural resources was such a lovely experience, everything was FREE! We really enjoyed getting out in the great outdoors, made lots of memories and can’t wait to see what next year brings!
