Are you looking for family plans this autumn and don't know where to start? We propose these six fun and innovative plans that help build a healthier relationship with your children, as they involve them in activities that allow them to develop social and autonomy skills.
1. Explore the city with your children.
The first plan to do with children in October is to explore the city. Surprise your children with activities related to the city, such as discovering the local market, going to the playground, or visiting a museum so that they can see and learn more about their environment. They can also walk through the city streets, looking at the shops and special places they might find along the way.
2. Visit a farm or an organic garden.
It's an excellent way for children to learn about animals, explore nature, and discover how food is produced. Many cities have certified organic farms you can visit. These places often offer workshops that inspire children about farming and sustainable food production.
3. Collect leaves.
Collecting leaves is a fun activity you can do with your child. In the garden, in the forest, or in the park, collecting leaves is a great way to spend time with your little one and learn about trees and plants. Do you want an extra idea?
- Explain to your child what leaves are. If you have plants at home, explain that plants need their own parts to grow. Are they made of water? Do they have muscles? Turn them into a botanical explorer!
- Before going out to look for leaves, research the area where you are going. What types of trees will you find? Are they evergreen or deciduous? What animals eat their leaves?
4. Make pumpkins with them.
How to make a paper pumpkin? It's easy: draw the outline of a pumpkin. Cut out the parts and put them together to get a three-dimensional drawing of your first "pumpkin."
5. Stargazing
From a tent, high up on a mountain, or from your house's terrace. Find the ideal place to stargaze as a family. Discover constellations, talk about the infinity of the universe, the work of astronauts, or how far away the stars are. There's a whole universe to discover!
These are some of the plans to do with children in October. If you liked this article and want to know more about other activities to enjoy with your family, every month we will be sharing plans to do with children at each time of the year on our blog.
