Here are 10 fun activities that will keep children entertained and engaged this autumn:

1. Apple Picking

• Why It’s Fun: Children love picking their own apples, and it’s a great way to get them involved in harvesting. Plus, they can make delicious apple treats afterward.

• Bonus: Try a fun & healthy apple-tasting contest or make apple pie together and award them with our Baking Medals

2. Pumpkin Decorating

• Why It’s Fun: Skip the carving and let the kids use paint, stickers, glitter, and fabric to decorate pumpkins. It’s less messy and safer for younger kids.

• Bonus: Create a pumpkin “family” with different themes (monsters, animals, etc.). Hand out Pumpkin Medals for everyone! 

3. Nature Scavenger Hunt

• Why It’s Fun: Create a list of things to find in nature—like acorns, pine cones, colourful leaves, or a bird’s feather—and let kids explore. It’s a great way for them to learn about the environment.

• Bonus: You can make it educational by adding colours, shapes, or numbers to the list. Check out our Maths Stickers

4. Corn Maze Adventure

• Why It’s Fun: Navigate through a corn maze! Kids can work together as a team, solving the maze puzzles and racing to the finish.

• Bonus: Some farms offer night-time mazes or haunted versions for older kids. Scarecrow Medal Award Competition Prize Free Personalised Engraving Gift at 1st Place 4 Trophies
