6 Fun Plans With Children For This Fall
Fall is a great time of year for outdoor activities with children. It is not very cold yet and the parks are full of yellow leaves. It is the best time to enjoy nature with the children before the cold winter.
In this beautiful season we can invent outdoor activities such as excursions to collect mushrooms or nuts to entertain children. But we will also have to plan activities indoors for when it rains or is too cold. In this article we are going to point out six fun and simple plans to entertain children this fall.
1. An autumn harvest
As autumn is the harvest season, we can invent an excursion with the children to go pick seasonal products such as mushrooms, blackberries or chestnuts. Children will also have fun picking up multicolored leaves and stones or cones of different sizes.
You will need sportswear so that the children are comfortable such as a tracksuit, sneakers or boots and a raincoat in case it rains. You also have to bring a basket so that each child can collect fruits and leaves and pineapples.
If you collect mushrooms, be very careful if you are not accompanied by someone who knows if they are edible. With what you collect you can make a mushroom omelette or a blackberry or chestnut cake. You can also make a mural when you get home by sticking on cardboard what you have collected or the photos you have taken on the day.
2. An afternoon of crafts
On cold and rainy days, a good idea is to invent crafts at home so that children do not get bored. We can color pictures with autumn drawings or make collages with leaves of the trees that we find in the street. We can also make small stuffed animals with colored wool or puppets with socks.
Another activity that we can do on those days is to paint with colored paints fallen leaves or stones of different sizes and decorate them with colored stickers. The children can invite a friend that afternoon to make it more fun. If you plan different crafts and games, the children will have a very entertaining autumn afternoon.
3. An autumn outing
Among the plans that you can invent to go out, it can be interesting to organize an autumn outing to a nearby country area where children can ride a bicycle or go on a hiking route. You can take the snack and take it while the children play and run outdoors. Even if the weather is nice, put a blanket on the floor and enjoy a snack together.
4. A fun visit
You can also visit with the children some of the museum exhibitions that are in most cities and in many towns. Always looking for short exposures that are suitable for the age of children.
Another idea is to go to one of the movie or theater premieres of the season. We can also take the children to see the puppet and marionette shows that many town halls usually organize or look for fun workshops in museums or town halls.
5. A rural house in autumn
Also, if we have several days off, we can reserve a few days in a rural house in the area or that has been recommended to us. It is important that it is a rural house adapted for children. There you can schedule excursions in the area or outings for example with bicycles. Children are sure to have fun breathing clean air surrounded by nature. If there are animals in the rural house, the children will really enjoy this original getaway.
6. Cooking as a family
Another fun plan for cold or rainy days can be to make some fun dessert or food with the children. You can make a blackberry or chestnut cake as we have already mentioned. You can also make muffins or nut cupcakes decorating them with toppings of flavors such as chocolate, vanilla or strawberry.
It can also be an original idea to put the chestnuts that have been collected if they are edible and when they are crunchy put them in paper cones. Be careful not to confuse edible chestnuts with horse chestnuts or false chestnuts, which are not edible. It is sure to be a lot of fun watching a movie on TV eating chestnuts all together on the couch.
Surely if you plan with time and enthusiasm any of these autumn plans with the children, you will spend a very fun day where no one will get bored. Do not think about it anymore and plan one for these autumn days.
