With the weather changing and the chill in the air, it may seem there is not much to do with the little ones once fall begins. Check out these ideas for some great things you can do together!
1. Build your own scarecrow with some old clothes, hay, straw or even newspaper.
2. Play a few rounds on your old board games, like Monopoly, battleship or Operation.
3. Take a nature hike; explore all of the changes fall brings to the outdoors with your little ones.
4. Make it a movie night, heat up some popcorn, and grab a blanket and a movie you can all enjoy.
5. Do a puzzle together. Find an autumn puzzle and you can even use puzzle glue and a frame and make it a home decoration when you are done.
6. Bake something together. Some favorite autumn dessert ideas include, Classic Apple Pie, Carmel Apple Crisp, Cranberry Oat Bars, Pumpkin Pie, Creamy Sweet Potato Pie or Cranberry Pie.
