At Little Steps Day Care , we are a family run nursery. Our team of staff are dedicated to providing quality care and education. As autumn has arrived, we are here to help you keep your kids entertained at home on dull days.
This month’s blog at Little Steps Day Care looks at autumn activities you can do at home. For more information, call us in Bedford on 01234 889518.
Build a Den
Keep the kids occupied by making a den together. Gather all the blankets and pillows that you can find and create a structure using tables and chairs. Once the structure is created, allow the kids to add their own finishing touches. Use it for playing games, relaxing, and sleeping.
Make it a competition and see who can build the best den. This activity is sure to keep the kids busy for hours.
Arts and Crafts
Go for a walk around your local park and collect some leaves, pinecones, and sticks. Take these back home and create some pictures together. Watch your child’s imagination run wild.
You could also use household items such as empty boxes, toilet roll tubes, and cellotape to make your own robots, castles, and much more. Let your child’s creative side come out.
Sensory Play
Make a sensory bin for them to explore. Fill a small container with objects such as leaves, rocks, sand, and sticks. Alternatively, you can use foods like pasta, rice, beans, along with spoons and small toys to hide and let your children find. Sensory play helps your child grow and develop.
Scavenger Hunt
Take a walk outdoors and see how many autumn themed items you can find. Make your usual walk into an adventure. Once you’re back from your walk, you could create some pictures with the items that you find.
Build Lego
Lego can provide hours of fun and entertainment. Get creative and build houses, cars, animals, and much more. This is a great way to develop your child’s fine motor skills. Let their imagination go crazy and build some amazing creations.
