Fun Outdoor Fall Toddler And Preschool Activity | Autumn Activities For Preschoolers And Toddlers
Fall is a great time to get outside, explore and do fun toddler activities! Today, we’re going to go on an easy outdoor scavenger hunt. It can be so much fun to explore your yard to find acorns, different colored leaves, pinecones, berries and more. This is a perfect activity for your busy toddler or preschooler – they will love finding all of the different items in their own yard!
The best part is there’s no prep and nothing to purchase! You can do this at a moment’s notice, just grab a basket or bag and head outside! I printed pictures of what we were looking for and taped them to the bottom of the bins. This isn’t necessary but it did help with sorting.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A list of items to find (see below) adjust this depending on what your kids will find in your yard
- Pictures of the items you’re hunting (optional)
- A bag, basket or bin to collect the items in
You can just use anything you have on hand or you can use the links below!
Pictures (optional) Acorns Leaves
Now, let’s get started!
For this scavenger hunt for fall, here is a list of easy things that you can find outside in your yard during fall. You can adjust your items depending on the trees you have in your yard and what you know they will be able to find.
- Acorns
- Different colored leaves
- Berries
- Pinecones
- Twigs
- Seeds
- Flowers
Once you have your list, go outside with your little one and see how many items they can find! When you’re finished, count up all of your items for a fun counting activity. How many did you find?
This easy toddler approved outdoor scavenger hunt is a great way to explore nature with your little one and teach them about all of the different things that can be found in their own backyard and what happens to the trees during the fall season! It’s also a fun way to get some fresh air and spend some quality time together. Give it a try today! Plus after you’ve finished you can use your findings for some fun craft activities!
