So many ways to enjoy Fall which just happens to be my favorite season ๐ I know for us we go on hay rides and pumpkin picking, we paint acorns and craft , thanks for gathering these for us and sharing ๐ @tisonlyme143
Ooh I used to make conker spiders too, we also used to bake them, and nail polish colour them as well and make necklaces for my Gran, lucky thing ๐ x
That is an amazing list of autumn activities, we’ll definitely be doing some of those in the next few months
What a fabulous list of activities. We might have to try and work our way through them x
We’ve been finishing off our harvest field scene today. Lots of tissue paper and sticking!
Love your bored jars! What an amazing giveaway, but such a long rafflecopter ๐
I really like the idea of a bored jar and need to get one sorted for my children. Getting away from screens is so important.
Wow this is a great idea of jointly running a compo. The bored jar is a great idea and I love some of the ideas in there xx
