Ten Fun Fall Activities

1. Make a cup of cocoa. Nothing is as effective as battling chills than a taste of warm chocolate. Just ask them.

2. Create a leaf rubbing. Fall provides countless varieties of leaves. Place leaves under a sheet of paper and rub the top with crayon or chalk to create beautiful memories.

3. Get adventurous and go outdoors. Have a competition to see who can create the tallest mountain with fallen leaves. Want a little more fun? Have fallen leaf ball fights!

4. Read it now: One Leaf Rides the Wind. A single leaf opens the door to a visual extravaganza as a young girl explores a traditional Japanese garden.

5. Fall is a perfect time to visit an apple orchard. The benefits include homemade applesauce and apple pie – two seasonal favorites.

6. Stuff a Scarecrow. Bad news for birds, good news for those pants you haven’t worn since 1983.

7. It’s the simple things. A sensory walk outdoors will reveal the sight of changing leaves, the feel of crisp wind and the familiar scent of fall.

8. Let them play dress up. It’s a lot more fun than asking them to put on a sweater and the more layers they use the warmer they’ll be.

9. Staying in on a windy day? Check out Baby Genius’ Four Seasons, a DVD that pairs the classical music of Vivaldi with scenes from the natural world. Wind and rain have never felt so good.
