FALL IS IN THE AIR (MAYBE:)
Happy Wednesday Friends!
Fall *kind of* feels like it’s at least on its way today! This is one of my absolute favorite seasons, especially with kids, and one of the best seasons to get creative, explore nature, and make cozy memories with the kids you care for. The air is crisp, the leaves are colorful, and there’s so much to do—both outdoors and indoors! Here are some fun fall activities to try with kids:
1. Go on a Leaf Hunt! Grab a basket or paper bag and head outside for a leaf hunt. Collect different shapes and colors, then use them for crafts later—like leaf rubbings or a fall collage. It’s a simple way to get fresh air and sneak in a little learning about nature.
2. Bake Something Seasonal (with parents approval first- some parents prefer that you steer clear of cooking while on assignment) Kids love to help in the kitchen! Try making pumpkin muffins, apple crisp, or cinnamon-sugar donuts together. It’s messy, fun, and smells amazing—and everyone enjoys the treats afterward.Just be sure to get approval and clean up afterwards.
3. Visit a Pumpkin Patch (ONLY if parents have indicated that you can take kids on outings. If not, bring the pumpkin patch to the house! Trader Joes is a great spot to get inexpensive small pumpkins that kids would be super excited about) You can even have a mini pumpkin-decorating day when you get home.
4. Make a Nature Craft. Use acorns, pinecones, and leaves to create art. Try making pinecone owls, leaf crowns, or a fall-themed sensory bin for younger children.
5. Cozy Storytime and Cocoa: End a chilly day by snuggling up with a blanket, hot cocoa, and a stack of fall-themed books. It’s a perfect way to slow down and connect.
Whether you’re outdoors exploring or inside crafting, fall offers endless ways to make memories with kids. The key is to keep it playful, hands-on, and full of laughter—because those are the moments they’ll remember most. 🍁
Permanent Placements below. As always, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to apply for any of these opportunities.
Have a great rest of your week and I hope you can enjoy a hot apple cider, chai, or Pumpkin Spiced Latte for me (my fall favs:)
