With a week off school and not much money, families need to find more thrifty ways of amusing their children.
We spent a few hours just walking to the supermarket and back looking at what Mother Nature had to offer during the Autumn season.
There were cobwebs
And a bee
and flowers
and blue mushrooms
The children thought these looked very interesting!
We had been learning the letter T so had been doing trees – and what better way to emphasize this than to go out to the trees!
and to play with the falling leaves
And all the different colours we could find
And the leaves changing colour
And we even found leaves with thorns on the back!
And of course some were still green
And we collected lots of them up in our bags ready to do more craft
Thrifty and every bit as much fun as an expensive day out. I am loving all that nature has to offer at this time of the year. Thank you for sharing on Country Kids and I hope you find plenty more fun like this during the week.
Lovely photos, it really shows that you don’t have to spend anything to have a fun day out. We are loving the autumn colours and fallen leaves too.
Popped over from Country Kids.
its amazing what we miss doing everyday things, until we stop and think about 🙂 x
Oh mine’s a thistle too! I love this time of year for nature’s delights.

I have just discovered yor bog, hello
Hello *waves* pleased to meet you
Looks like fun and just the sort of thing to do to have fun without costing a fortune.
wow – haven’t seen blue mushrooms before. Hope no-one was tempted to sample them! Thanks for your comment on my red ones!
What an awesome way to spend a day off. It’s so memorable. I love the great things that you photographed too to remember this by. I wish blogs were around when I was a kid. I could look back and remember all of that great stuff from my childhood.
I’ve seen purple mushrooms! Mushrooms can be an amazing find!
