Fall, also known as autumn, is a wonderful time of the year when the weather starts to cool, and nature transforms into a colorful wonderland. There are lots of fun activities to enjoy with family and friends. It’s a time for pumpkins and warm drinks, and it’s definitely a season that Clever Hedgehog looks forward to!
Do you know what Clever Hedgehog likes to do this season? The same cool things that you can enjoy too:
Changing Leaves: One of the most exciting things about fall is that the leaves on the trees change colors. They go from green to all sorts of shades like red, orange, and yellow. How many leaves of different colors can you find?
Crisp Air: The air in the fall feels cooler and crisp. It’s a great time to put on your favorite cozy sweater and go for walks or play outside. How does the cold air feel on your face? Your hands?
Pumpkin Picking: Fall is the season for pumpkins. Families often visit pumpkin patches to pick out the perfect pumpkin to make a delicious pumpkin soup or for carving into a spooky or funny Jack-o’-Lantern for Halloween. Do you want to carve a face into a pumpkin for Halloween?
Jumping in Piles of Leaves: When the leaves fall off the trees, you can rake them into big piles and then jump into them. It’s super fun and makes a big, crunchy mess!
Have fun on Halloween and Thanksgiving: the Fall brings us two fun festivals to celebrate!
31 October – Halloween
Halloween: Fall has some exciting festivities like Halloween. It is sometimes thought of as more of kid’s holiday, but many adults enjoy it as well. Halloween is all about dressing up in fun costumes and going trick-or-treating for candies.
What is Halloween?
A lot of the Halloween traditions that we know today began in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales hundreds of years ago. The name Halloween is a shorter version of All Hallows’ Eve or the night before All Saints Day. People of the past believed that on the last night of October, the souls of those who had passed, wandered the planet, and to make the spirits go away, people would dress up in costumes and make noise in the streets.
Nowadays, Halloween is all about having fun and using your imagination. It’s not meant to be too scary, just a little spooky and a lot of fun! So, get creative with your costume, collect lots of treats, and enjoy the excitement of Halloween!
