Do you love Autumn? We are lucky in the UK to have four distinct season and I adore how different each one is. I love the low cost and no costs seasonal family activities too so I have decided to do a graphic for our 50 Autumn Activities for Kids.
Each season I update our bored jar with new activities for the new season. So I never hear the words I’m Bored from either of the boys. I also fill our bored jar with a selection of chores too!
