Fun with Fall

October Parenting Tips

  • Take a nature walk and feel the breeze. Grab a basket or bag and have your child pick up items like leaves of different sizes and colors, acorns and twigs.

  • Create a collage. Display the items from your walk by gluing them onto paper or pressing them onto sticky contact paper.

  • Experiment with fall colors.  Offer your child red, yellow, and orange paints. Allow them to paint with their fingers, a paintbrush or items you found on your walk.

  • Try new flavors.  Stores are stocked with new pumpkin and apple flavored foods and drinks. Enjoy a snack with your child and let them describe the new flavor.

  • Cooking. Fall is a great time to involve your child in cooking and trying new foods.
