After a warm, sunny summer, it's hard to get used to the fact that the weather is getting worse, the number of sunny days is decreasing, and you have to put on a whole bunch of clothes before going out.
But this does not change the fact that autumn is a wonderful time that can bring joy to children and their parents.
We invite you to find out how you can have fun and usefully spend time walking outside in the fall with your baby.
Study the fruits of different trees
Apple trees, pears, rowan, and rose hips can be found even in city parks. Tell your little one what the fruits can be used for and explain that the fruits and berries that grow within the city limits should not be eaten – let them be left for the birds and squirrels.
Collect acorns and chestnuts
You may need this natural material to make some craft or learn to count.
Organize a photo shoot
There is little chance that the child will appreciate this idea, but the fidget will definitely be happy to run through puddles in rubber boots and play with colorful leaves. And the parents will have bright photos that remind them of this happy time.
Have an autumn picnic
In good weather, you can go to the park, take a thermos of tea and your favorite snacks with you, and settle down on a carpet of fallen leaves and enjoy the beauty of autumn.
Make bird feeders
And although the birds don’t need additional food yet, as soon as snow falls, it will be difficult for them to get food. Tell your child about bird feeders and their types. Buy or make a small bird feeder yourself and hang it on a tree near the house so that the child can fill it with grains during walks. This way, he will learn to love nature and become more responsible.
