I love all the seasons, and I am not sure I favour one more than the others. However, when the seasons start changing and moving on, I am always ready for a change and love what the next one might bring – especially now that we live somewhere that has four distinct seasons! So, now that autumn is well and truly here, we have spent the afternoon leaf rubbing in our nature journals as the background decor to our autumn bucket list – a list of everything that we would like to do during this season. We’ve then made one giant list incorporating everyone’s little lists, so we can tick them off as we go.
Our Autumn bucket list ended up consisting of 34 things, and here they are:
1. Have a leaf fight
2. Catch falling leaves
3. Paint leaves
4. Kick leaves
5. Play with toys by the fire
6. Have a proper hot chocolate – with chocolate spoons, cream, and marshmallows
7. Eat warm kanelbullar (cinnamon buns)
8. Look for conkers
9. Roast pumpkin seeds
10. Roast chestnuts
11. Do nature art with leaves
12. Have a cosy afternoon in the library
13. Enjoy a season-scented bubble bath
14. Enjoy a season-scented candle
15. Sunset picnic
16. Sunrise picnic
17. Bake with apples
18. Bake with ginger
19. Carve a pumpkin
20. Count the leaf colours on a walk
21. Jump in leaves
22. Light indoor fires
23. Cosy on the sofa with stories and blankets
24. Watch a cosy autumn movie
25. Have the whole family toast marshmallows
26. Make a leaf caterpillar
27. Throw leaves
28. Autumn Camping
29. Autumn walk
30. Collect leaves
31. Make blackberry jam
32. Apple experiment
33. Sloeberry experiment
You may well be intrigued by a few of the things on the bucket list…I am! But I guess that’s what you get when you ask two 5 year olds, one 9 year old, and a 41 year old what they would like to do this autumn 🙂

Wow look at the red of that tree that’s really beautiful. I used to love catching leaves with my grandma and going hunting for conkers. Such happy nostalgic memories for me that I hope to creat for my children. Thanks for joining us at #familyfun
