Want to embrace fall this year? Looking for easy ways to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors of nature? As the days grow shorter, try one of these simple, inexpensive ways to bring the best of fall to your family.
Raking Leaves: Get the kids in on this chore by adding some fun. Once they make a pile, they can jump in and nest. Toss leaves into the air and let them run through them. Want them to help even more? Make sure you have plenty of tools just their size to get the most out of this family activity.
Leaf Sun Catcher: For an easy project, make your own leaf suncatcher. Capture the beauty of fall colors to enjoy year round thanks to this craft. It only requires items you most likely already own, and can be completed in under an hour. Once kids find the best leaves, they can preserve them for months to come.
Free Date Ideas: Go leaf peeping for a free outing everyone can enjoy. Find the best drives near you that highlight the changing colors. Or just head out your front door and see what you can find. Try adding some special challenges to make it even more fun. See who can find the largest leaf or the most leaves still on the tree. Best of all, this excursion costs nothing but time, though you can always round it out with some hot cocoa for an extra treat.
