Leaves, Wind, and Kites: Creative Ideas for an Autumn Excursion

Autumn is a feast for the senses: the vibrant colors, the rustling of leaves, the crisp wind. Use this special atmosphere for an unforgettable trip.

Activities for an Autumn Day

• Leaf Color Hunt: Who can find a red, a yellow, a brown, and a green leaf? Collect the most beautiful leaves for a craft project back at the daycare.
• Leaf Pile Jump: Is there anything better than jumping into a big pile of leaves? (Make sure the pile is safe and contains no hard objects).
• Wind Dancers: Tie long, colorful crepe paper ribbons to small sticks. The children can run and dance with them in the wind, making the invisible force visible.
• Collect Chestnuts and Acorns: These autumn fruits are perfect for crafting little figures and animals. It trains fine motor skills and observation.
• Listen to the Rustling Leaves: Pause for a moment, close your eyes, and just listen to the sound of the leaves in the wind and under your feet.
