Fall Nature Activities

Migrating Redwing Blackbirds

Here you'll find plenty of fall nature activities to be used as journal prompts.

They are suitable to do with children of all ages.

Imagine how you would write, draw or photograph some of these ideas and you'll probably want to go outside right away.
