What activity do in autumn?

Fall has officially settled 🍂

For several months, our children will be able to contemplate the different colors of the leaves on the ground, touch the spines of pine or even, fill their pockets with many pebbles and pine cones.

It’s a warm season that comes to us with many family weekends and above all, the All Saints holidays.

To occupy the whole family during these sweet days, here are 5 ideas for activities to do in autumn with children, whether at home, in the forest or in grandparents ...

 

1. The traditional hut in the woods.

Where to go for a fall in fall? In nature!

An essential activity to do in autumn, the hut in the woods.

Prepare a snack to take away with you, look for a forest not far from the house and take all the children. Once out of the car, it's time to find the right place to create the perfect cabin. When it is found, the whole family starts to pick up wood and pine branches for decoration.

Then Mom and Papa take care of building the cabin with the essential help of the little ones.

Once the cabin is finished, find small logs, sit down and take it all together.

This activity that is both playful and sporting will appeal to the whole family.

2. Chestnut picking

From the end of September, the first chestnuts fell from their trees and are just waiting to be picked up and tasted. During your walks, tell the children to fill their pockets with this essential fruit in the fall.

At the end of the day, make a small slit in each chestnuts and put them in the oven for 20 minutes.

Once cooked, all you have to do is make your little taste discover this new taste.
