We have had so much fun with the kids the last few weeks, even with everything going on. To help keep nap time quiet, I've been finding quiet learning things for Princess that she can do on her own. Some days its a worksheet or coloring, but this is one of her favorite fall activities.
We made some fall scented rice. It was sooo easy!
You can find the recipe here. When the rice was dry we put it in a big bowl. We used our chip bowl that we use for parties. (Just a note - you want to let the rice air dry. If you don't it does mold).
We put a variety of things in the bowl that represent fall. Because it's Halloween, I found some cool, squishy spiders and also some small toy snakes and frogs at Walmart that were inexpensive. I put in some feathers (We use craft feathers because the ones found outside really aren't safe for the kids to touch) and fake leaves in fall colors. And we used pine cones and acorns from outside. This kept both kids busy for hours.
