Autumn is a magical time; the leaves turn into brilliant colors and then fall like confetti from above, and the air turns crisp and cool. The sun makes it’s way lower into the sky while our lively world becomes sleepy. Autumn is very much a time of transition.
There are so many natural wonders that come along with this season, and many families take advantage of them while creating wholesome seasonal traditions in the process. Not only are traditions fun, but they are necessary in a child’s life; whether it be for warm memories or for helping to navigate through the year with an inner knowing of time and yearly rhythms. Our family has so many autumn traditions, and if you’re looking for some awesome nature-inspired inspiration, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s begin, shall we?
