Nature Walks & Woodland Play: Outdoor Activities for Autumn

Crisp air, golden leaves, muddy puddles, autumn is the perfect season for slow adventures and screen-free play. Here are simple outdoor activities for little explorers, plus five snug, shop-able picks to keep them comfy from park to woodland trail.

 

Nature Bracelets: a simple outdoor craft where kids wrap tape (sticky side out) or a ribbon/string with glue around their wrist, then press on small natural finds to create a wearable “bracelet.” Cozy pick: A warm jumper keeps explorers toasty while they stop-and-spot. Shop our knitwear and layer with ribbed tights or leggings for easy movement.


 

Puddle Stomp & Stick Boats Activity: Build little boats from sticks and leaves. Race them through rain-run rivulets, then practice big jumps in puddles. Weather-ready pick: Rainwear with taped seams and hoods for proper splashing, add a cozy gilet for warmth on breezy days.



Woodland Den Building Activity: Gather fallen branches and pinecones to build a mini animal shelter or a child-sized den. Chat about how creatures keep warm. Cozy pick: Fleece-lined gilet layered over a long-sleeve tee—warm core, free arms for hauling logs and tying knots.



Sound Safari Activity: Pause and listen—birds, rustling leaves, distant dogs, your own footsteps. Take turns guessing sounds, then sketch what you heard. Cozy pick: Soft joggers or leggings with a brushed interior; comfy for crouching, balancing, and impromptu log-seats.



Storytime Under the Trees Activity: Pack a blanket and a favourite forest-themed book. Read together, then act out foxes, owls, or bear families on a forage. Cozy pick: Everybody's welcome, a little mouse who builds a house and invites a growing number of displaced woodland creatures to join in and share it.
