ACTIVITIES Autumn has a magical way of turning ordinary places into extraordinary adventures. A familiar park becomes an expedition, a pile of leaves becomes a treasure trove, and even the walk to school is filled with seasonal discoveries. The best adventures aren't always the biggest - they're the moments spent collecting colourful leaves, spotting squirrels, finding conkers or simply listening to the wind in the trees. This autumn, slow down and see the world through your child's eyes. You might be surprised how much wonder is waiting right on your doorstep. Together, can you... THE BEST AUTUMN ADVENTURE ISN'T VERY FAR AWAY Why children don't need expensive days out to make magical memories. Find 5 different shaped leaves Listen for birds instead of looking for them Build a tiny home for a bug Collect nature's colours Watch the sunset together Jump in a leaf pile Find something that makes you say "WOW!" Finish with hot chocolate! If your curious little one loves nature, take a look at our activity boxes - our TOOL KIT FOR ECO HEROES - use GO15 for 15% discount www.itsourplanettoo.co.uk 23
