It’s that wonderful time of year again…Autumn. To me there is nothing quite like it and I like to get outdoors as much as possible before the winter arrives. Taking a nice walk outdoors this time of year is also amazing journey for your senses. The cool, crisp air touches your skin, there are beautiful colors on the trees, sounds of leaves rustling around, and the smell of apples in a nearby orchard to take in. Children of all ages love to explore this time of year too. Our family loves to spend most of our weekends outdoors in the fall. We like to take walks in the woods near our home and we bring a bag along to bring home interesting things we’ve collected. Last year I created an Autumn Scavenger Hunt for my children. I made a list and we went outside in search of the items. My older 2 children really enjoyed this, but my younger 2 children were to little to read the list. This year I wanted everyone to have a lot of fun, so I created this Autumn Scavenger Hunt for younger children (ages 2-4), who cannot read, but would do really well looking at a picture list. When my younger children saw these, they were so excited to join in on the scavenger hunt fun and were feeling more independent as we went out in search of the items. I hope you have great weather this weekend to get out with your family and do a little exploring of your own!

This is so perfect for us…because we love to go on walks too. We live right off of a mountain side and along the river. I am actually printing this off right now for my 6 yr old son. He’s super excited. We’re going to do it tomorrow…Yay!! You’re awesome, Shannon!

Thanks Gloria! We have a lot of big hills here, but no mountains- sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon! Enjoy the rest of the weekend:)
