Do you feel that? Can you smell it? Yup, Fall is in the air! Ahhhh…I love Fall. It’s definitely my favorite time of year. I love that it begins to get cooler out, but not too cool, oh and here in our area, it means that those dreaded mosquitoes go away too! Summer is nice, yes I agree, but sometimes it’s just a bit too hot to be outside. Now Autumn and it’s crisp, fresh air, is the PERFECT time to be outside!
Being outside and exploring the change of the season allows for lots of family fun to be had, and much of that fun can be virtually free! Here are a few of our favorites…
Go apple picking (low cost, since you are the labor!)…
Well, perhaps maybe, freshly made, warm out of the pot applesauce (low cost and delicious!)…
Get your heart pumping and rake some leaves…but then, act like a child and jump into a big pile! (free and freeing!)
Seriously, we just can’t seem to stop! So far we’ve come up with some pretty fun crafty uses for our acorn caps and acorns…
Pack a clear jar with acorn caps and play…Guess how many acorn caps!
This game is sure to bring lots of silly cheers and nonsense! Using a galvanized bucket is a fun bonus, the “Pling” in the bucket is a great sound!
And last, but not least…use tops up or bottoms up of your caps to play an outdoor game of tic-tac-toe…
