Fed up of pumpkins and Halloween as the only play ideas during Autumn?

Try these 10 play prompt suggestions

1. National space week – ok so we know we have missed the date for this one but still a great play theme. Plus when the clocks change get outside and do a bit of star gazing.

2. Learn a new skill – grab a hot chocolate and snuggle by a cosy fire and try our new knitting forks or braiding stars

3. Harvest festival  – get that play food out and create harvest baskets

4. 21st October is national apple day – eat them, draw them, practice life skill by cutting them up or maybe hammering golf tees into them

5. 24th October – United National Day – celebrate diversity with a new book or colour me crayons. 

6. 13th November – Diwali try using out Kitpas crayons to celebrate the festival of light by drawing on the windows or making a tea light holder using a jam jar.

7. 13th November – World Kindness Day – what lovely thing can you do today?

8. 20th November – Universal Children’s Day, could you find out about what children do in different countries, this years theme is inclusion.

9. An oldie but a goodie – head out for a nature walk and collect natural loose parts, maybe sticks or pinecones. Then you can add them to a sensory base and do some counting or maybe you could add them to sensory dough to create an autumn inspire model.

10. Decorate some leaves or conkers – paint or Kitpas crayons work really well for this.
