🍁 AUTUMN 🍁
This week at supported playgroup we are welcoming the beginning of a new season and below are some great Autumn activities to do with your child.
- Leaf Sorting – do this according to colour, size or shape
- Scavenger hunts – take lots of walks to local parks, fields or bush areas. Take a list of things to look out for, take along a basket where children can put any items of interest that they may find
- Colour exploration – Mix colours, talk about colours, make pictures with autumn colours. Colours are everywhere in early autumn so make the most of this
- Sensory trays – Bring autumn leaves, pine cones, sticks and twigs indoors and make lovely sensory trays using the natural resources
- Bird Feeders – Create bird feeders with the children to give the birds an extra hand over the cold winter months
- Leaf Sticking – There are many wonderful things that can be created by sticking leaves
- Counting – count the leaves, pine cones and sticks. Play counting games such as can you find me 2 red leaves etc
- Leaf Jumping - This may be your child's (and your) favourite! Have some fun jumping, kicking and throwing those beautiful coloured leaves as they fall on the ground.
