Fall Nature Activities

Here is a great list of things that you can do. You'll find plenty of fall nature activities to do with children of all ages.

1. Record the changes in the temperature, length of days, and the weather.

2. Check for dew on the grass each morning? Check for the first frosts.

3. Collect the seeds and berries of plants. What seeds and nuts are animals storing?

4. Are some animals noticeably fatter?

5. Fall is a good time to find and draw or photograph mushrooms.

6. Listen for the migration calls of geese and squirrels chattering.

7. Watch for fall migration and hibernation activity.

9. Look for insect eggs and cocoons on plants and beneath logs and rocks.

10. Notice how plants, animals and people prepare for winter.
