We collected lots of acorns last week, then sorted them, counted them, looked at them with magnifying glasses (taking care that nobody tried to eat them or put them up noses or in ears

- we went to casualty to have a nut removed from a nose recently

).
Then today we went out for a walk to find squirrels. Eventually we found two, who ran up a tree the moment they saw us. But we left them a little pile of acorns at the bottom of the tree, and tomorrow plan to go back to see if an have gone. (we counted them out very carefully so that we'll know.)
It was a very relaxed, low-key activity, but we saw lots of things on our walk to do with Autumn (called Fall here) to talk about. We collected some different fallen leaves, which we'll probably use for some artwork later in the week.
We also had a lot of fun last week with different pine cones and the toy trucks, loading them up and moving them from place to place. It resulted in some really creative play.
