Autumn is a great time of year, yes it gets wetter and colder but the autumnal colours are amazing and you know it’s getting closer to Christmas (and who doesn’t love Christmas). Here are a few activities you can do with the kids this Autumn to get them in the mood for the season of red, orange and yellow.
Autumn Collage Use the fantastic autumnal colours to create a wonderful collage. Collect some leaves and let them dry out. Once dry you can either stick them straight on to paper or if your kids are a bit older then maybe get them to cut the leaves in to smaller pieces to create a more detailed collage picture.
Paint a Tree
You can do this activity straight on paper, card or a canvas, but it is going to be messy. First you need to get your child to make a brown paint hand print and a bit of their wrist. This gives the impression of a bare tree. The next step is use finger painting to show the leaves in red, orange and yellow.

We’ve been baking again, this time we followed the Sunny Carrot Cake recipe. Our eldest wanted to try another recipe from ‘I Can Cook’, we just substituted the walnuts for raisins. This was a lovely cake, very soft and we all wanted more after our first bite.
