Embrace the beauty and wonder of autumn with fun, hands-on activities for your toddler for our autumn tot school. Spark curiosity and encourage development in a fun, relaxed environment.
From the vibrant colors of changing leaves to discovering pumpkins, apples, and acorns, explore the sights, sounds, and textures of fall. Through playful learning, your toddler will engage in sensory experiences, art projects, and outdoor exploration to celebrate the season.
We’re excited to kick off this cozy season of autumn together!
Autumn Tot School
This week we brought out the ribbon dancing rings (home-made from canning jar rings and ribbon) and made harvest crowns. My harvest king had a blast dancing to music and spinning around!
We painted and ripped paper!
He is very into cooking and wants to help me all the time. Sometimes, instead of letting him cook with me, we bring out all the pots and he pretends to cook all on his own. He even hears me walk into the kitchen and runs yelling, “cook, cook, cook!”
We have not let him touch the oven, so is very good about avoiding it and holds his hand out and says “HOT!” when anyone goes near it.
We also brought out the dot – painters again this week and made a habitat for little squirrel! Silly me let him do this the day we were taking 2 year old pictures and his hands were the most beautiful colors of purples, blues and reds!

30 Day Play Challenge
A new thing this week is the 30 Days to Play Challenge with Hands on: as we grow and The imagination tree. They are hosting a 30 day challenge to encourage families to play for 15 uninterrupted minutes every day. We play a lot at this household, so we included the goal of playing together as an entire family as we have so much fun when Papa plays along!
There are some great play prompts that have encouraged us to PLAY!!! Here are some pictures from the first week:
- Day 1 Goals
- Day 2 Forts
- Day 3 Blocks!
- Day 4 Islands
- Day 5 Playdough
- Day 6 Family Time
- Day 7 Drawing on the floor

That is a great idea with the pots and pans. A good way to keep littles engaged and learning!
I love the dancing rings and pots and pan idea for when you cook!
Stopped by from 1+1+1.
It's great when an entire family plays together. I love these moments too.
