Autumn activities list round up
At the beginning of Autumn, I wrote my autumn activities list (on my twinlifeonline site), which was a kind of bucket list of all the things we wanted to do throughout autumn.
As we are fast approaching December and christmas, I thought I’d write about how we got on……
Go on a leaf walk (kick about in fallen leaves)- We have done this, though there were not as many leaves as I would have liked.-
Collect conquers and play conquers– We went conker hunting and then made some fantastic conker caterpillars and people as well having conker games (great fun).
-
Do leaf rubbings– Leaf collections and leaf rubbings, were actually quite tricky to do, but good fun.
-
Do leaf painting– Leaf painting, was very mess, but most children love mess! Do an autumnal nature walk- Do some leaf number and letter games I found from pinterest
-
Do some simple science experiments from a book BB has– Volcano magic - absolutely fantastic experiment to do, the look on my children’s faces were quite magical. -
Cooking– We made apple scrumble (Yummy!) -
Carve a pumpkin– We carved a pumpkin and made lanterns and spider cakes
-
Do some autumn crafts- We had lots of autumn creative craft fun
-
See a firework display and bonfire– We had a fantastic family time watching fireworks together -
Do some sparklers- We also made some edible sparklers (Yum!) -
Jump in muddy puddles– We went on a play trail, with lots of great puddles! - Scary face painting
-
Fireworks pictures– We had fun experimenting with different fireworks art pictures
- Make an indoor den
- Have a family movie afternoon
-
Make a guy– We loved making a guy for our bonfire
- Craft with pinecones
-
Enjoy family time together- We had loads of great family time together and we also had an amazing weekend away too!
Wow, when I see it all written down, it makes me realise how much fun we have all had! It has been a busy autumn, but I have loved every minute of it and my children have had lots of new, exciting experiences, which I know they have enjoyed.
I think 16 out of 20 items ticked off our list is not bad going, we couldn’t find pinecones to decorate, we didn’t have time for face painting and I think a making a good den can now go on our winter list.
Making a list of activities to do for each season has been great, it gives me lots of incentive to get out there and complete it. I think I am going to have to make a christmas list next. I already have a few ideas for that one.
Why not make your own christmas or winter to do list, I would really recommend it? Let me know how you get on and come link it up to my let kids be kids linky, which opens every Tuesday.
This is a great list, and lovely to see so much of it ticked off, too – well done! I do like the idea of doing a winter list – thanks, will get onto that x
Yeah, I have discovered lists are great, need to get working on my winter list now too x
those conker caterpillars look amazing – will have to try that one next year! Popping over from Clarina’s contemplations linky xxx
Thank you x
Love this! What a productive autumn! And I agree, making a bucket list makes you a but more proactive, doesn’t it?! Thanks for linking up to #SavouringtheSeason looking forward to having you back with some winter ideas next week!
Thank you, I love my autumn list, need to get working on my winter one now. x
A great list – can see a few we might try.
Thanks, great, hope you enjoy trying a few x
Wow! I knew I loved Autumn for a reason!! We are spoilt by having distinguishable seasons in this country aren’t we?
Yeah, I lived in Australia for 1 year, but was desperate to get back to our seasons here
Wow well done on doing so much. I also managed to do nearly all my autumn bucket list. I really enjoyed reading about your autumn activities. Are you doing the same for Christmas?
