Fall is finally here, and with the leaves changing, this is the perfect time to get outside, and do some learning! Between opportunities for sensory play, and creative expression, autumn has so much it can offer and teach us. Read on below for some easy and cost-free ways to do some outdoor learning.
Land Art
Collect various nature materials, and take the time to sort and arrange them on the ground as “Land Art”. While sorting and arranging, explore the textures and allow your young artist to take the lead by creating an interesting pattern!
Lead Rubbings and Stamping
Collect leaves of various textures and sizes, and with thin paper and a variety of crayons, you can create leaf rubbings! This activity is great for fine motor skills as well. For an alternative, turn the leaves into stamps, using paint!
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Let nature be your teacher. Brainstorm a list of items to make a simple walk a little more interesting. You can find ready-made lists online, or better yet, explore various colours and shapes by collecting leaves! When you get home, this can become a quick and easy sorting activity.
How did you enjoy these activities? We can’t wait to hear your feedback.
