This Signs of Fall Scavenger Hunt is a fun and engaging way to get kids noticing the seasonal changes happening all around them. As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, autumn is the perfect time to take learning outdoors!
This no-prep activity helps children spot the best parts of the season, from colorful leaves and acorns to mushrooms and spiders, while building observation skills and sparking conversations about nature.
