Look to Nature
With the change in weather, this is a great time to get kids outside and interacting with nature. Picking up leaves on a walk in your local park can be great for active learning. Once you are home, have them identify the trees that produced the leaves, and create a leaf pressing and preservation book. Slightly older children may be interested in the science behind the changing leaf colors. Encourage them to take some time to look into how and why this process occurs.
Living History
Depending on your child's age, they may or may not be familiar with the story of history While they will be exposed to it in school, try and delve deeper into the origins and history of the holiday. Have older kids research and put together a book on the history, using pictures, paragraphs, or illustrations and ask them to present their findings. For your more "dramatically inclined" learner, have them create and act out their interpretation of history. Role playing is a fun way to help children gain an understanding of history.
Active Involvement
No matter the season, there are always plenty of ways to get children involved in the world around them through creative play. By taking the time to organize a few simple activities, they ill get to learn while having fun and you will be amazed by the results they produce.
