Play and movement
Published 2024-10-17
Autumn break is an anticipated pause for many families with children, a time when the daily hustle and bustle takes a momentary step back, and family time becomes the priority. Although the days are getting shorter and the chill of autumn is starting to set in, it doesn’t mean there’s a lack of activities! We’ve put together a few ideas to keep the whole family entertained during the autumn break.
1. Outdoor activities in the autumn nature.
Although the autumn weather can be unpredictable, outdoor activities are always a great idea. A forest trip can be an exciting adventure, especially for young explorers. Pack some snacks, hot cocoa in a thermos, and head to a nearby forest. The leaves are beautifully colored, and nature is filled with new smells and sounds to marvel at together.
Plan small tasks along the way – such as collecting leaves or pinecones, or playing a treasure hunt with nature’s treasures. Best of all, being outdoors is calming, boosts mood, and helps burn off energy.
2. The savior of a home day: crafting and baking
Not every autumn break day may tempt you to go outside, so it’s great to come up with fun activities at home as well. Crafting is a fantastic way to activate creativity and spend quality time together as a family. The autumn theme can be reflected in your crafts; for example, create colorful leaf patterns, decorations, or even Halloween-themed ornaments for the home.
Baking is also a delightful shared activity! Little bakers will surely get excited when they get to help make cookies or rolls. Finally, enjoying the treats you’ve baked together brings warmth and atmosphere to the grey autumn days.
3. Movie and game marathon at home.
If you want to spend a relaxed day at home, organize a movie or game marathon for the whole family. Choose your favorite family films or board games, set out some delicious snacks, and enjoy a cozy evening together. These peaceful moments can be just what a busy family needs.
4. Excitement and joy at Leo’s!
If you’re looking for an active and fun day, Leo’s is the perfect destination. The indoor play parks offer joy and activities for children of all ages – and even adults! Climbing structures, slides, trampolines, and ball pits invite both younger and older kids to join the fun.
Exploring and playing is a great way to burn off energy – especially when it’s rainy outside and the chilly weather makes staying indoors more appealing. The best part is that while the kids are playing and having fun, adults can take a moment to relax with a cup of coffee. Leo’s parks are open every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM during the autumn break week. You can find the opening hours for your nearest indoor play park here.
