Let's Play!

Fall is a great opportunity to get outside and have some fun before it gets too cold to enjoy the outdoors. Here are some ideas of things you can do before the snow falls.

• Rake leaves into big piles and play in them. Fall in them, roll in them or throw them at each other.
• Put leaves into white garbage bags and draw silly faces on them for Halloween.
• Watch the flying geese. Notice the pattern they fly in and how they take turns being the leader.
• Go camping in your backyard.
• Put your bare feet in the grass and talk about how it feels. Soft, scratchy, or maybe it tickles.
• Go to the park and swing with your child.
• Observe the moon and stars. Try to find the constellations. Learn their names. Make up your own names.
• Choose a color of fall and make that your color for the day. Wear that color and point out other things that are the same color.

Most importantly, have fun spending your time together. Children grow up in a blink.
