Autumn is upon us and our lush green parks are changing, producing a wonderful array of colours in deep burgundy reds and russets, mustard yellows and chocolate browns. Children love this time of year for their favourite pastimes of pine cone, leaf and conker collecting.
Autumn projects can keep both you and the children busy for hours. So pull on those wellies and dash down to your nearest woodland or local park and start gathering some materials. You will need leaves, grass, conkers, acorns (both in and out of their shells), pine cones, prickly grass, feathers and twigs. They're all out there, but best to get them while they're dry but undecayed.
