Although it’s always hard to say goodbye to Summer, there are plenty of things to love about Autumn….

Cool, crisp Autumn mornings, the gorgeous golden colours the trees turn (and the amazing fun you can have with two littlies in a pile of freshly fallen leaves). All snuggling into bed or on the couch under a duvet to read stories and new seasons stockings and scarves (for you and them ☺

It’s also a great time to try out some great Autumn themed activities with the kids!

So to celebrate the start of Autumn I’ve picked activities from some of my favourite activity websites and shared them in one handy place.

Most of the activities are more suitable for 18 months plus however if you are feeling brave then there is no reason you can’t tackle some of the appropriate ones with smaller people (with suitable adaptation for safety of course).

There are some great products you can use to help minimize the mess (not to mention your stress levels) that generally comes with creating activities for two. Have a hunt through your local store for other sanity-saving items such as plastic sheeting, cleaning cloths etc.

Happy Autumn!
