This year we visited our first pumpkin farm ever and my kids had a BLAST! We also do LOTS of leaf and pine needle raking. I think I counted 26 trees in our front yard alone. Mostly pine. So, yes, my kids get dirty from playing outside.

We also redo our nature table in the fall. First we put away all those summer doodads we’ve been collecting all summer, like shells, rocks, nests, feathers, seeds, etc. And then we replace them with acorns, leaves, cocoons, moss, etc.

Cooking is a wonderful way to introduce various math skills. And kids enjoy it so much, too!

My son loves helping in the kitchen during this time. It seems we bake desserts more often or make special treats. It’s not only fun, but I love that he is actually reading and measuring for the different recipes.
