From banana nut bread to the turning leaves, we are loving autumn. So today, we’re sharing even more of Learning Liftoff’s editors’ picks for the top snacks, crafts, and other fun activities to pumpkin-spice up your weekend, October 3-5.
We’ve put a spin on the original puppy chow recipe with Funfetti, but fall calls for a festive twist with pumpkin spices and candy pumpkins. Enjoy!
Welcome your family and friends to your home this autumn with a great homemade fall door hanger craft. Here are the leaf template, and letters to complete the project shown.
Moon sand is a fabulous fall activity for kids that involves sensory play. You’ll need 4 cups of play sand, 2 cups of corn starch, 1-3 cups of water, pumpkin pie spice, orange food coloring, liquid watercolors, or powdered paint. In a bin or container, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Start with one cup of water and added more until you have the desired consistency.
To make a toilet paper roll scarecrow, paint the top 1/4 of a toilet paper roll brown and the bottom 1/2 orange. Leave the face of the scarecrow unpainted. Staple crinkle paper right below the brown section, then cut a matching brown foam ring to slide down on the roll to complete the hat. Next glue on the eyes and a construction paper nose, then draw on his mouth. How cute!
Wash down your pumpkin puppy chow or any other fall snack with some delicious caramel apple cider. Mmmm!
