It is officially the first week of autumn (in the Northern Hemisphere). We know this because this weekend was the autumn equinox. The equinox is when the day and night are approximately the same length. This happens twice a year: once at the beginning of Spring and once at the beginning of Autumn. The autumn equinox happens around the 22nd of September.
Autumn is also known as Fall and is one of the most beautiful seasons. There is so much to look forward to!
What Are We Looking Forward To?
Below are the 3 things we are most excited about autumn for at Munchachos HQ:
1. The Leaves Start Changing Colour
On some trees (not the evergreen trees), the leaves begin to turn yellow and orange. It is one of our most favourite sights. We particularly love taking walks through the parks and drives into the countryside to really enjoy these beautiful colours. Sometimes we collect our favourite leaves, take them home and create a beautiful collage.
2. Play Conkers
We love to play conkers. To play conkers you first need to find a conker! Conkers are seeds of the Chestnut tree and you can find them almost anywhere in the fall. They are eaten by deer and squirrels but conkers are poisonous to humans. To learn how to play the loved conkers game, watch the video below:
3. Apple Picking
One of our favourite things to do is visit a nearby orchard and walk around collecting apples. The best part is eating these freshly picked apples and creating the most perfect apply pie when we get home!
How Does This Relate to Who We Are and What We Do?
We never want to lose our childlike curiosity and need to perpetuate children’s innate curiosity. There is so much to see and do and learn. So grab is known a sweater this autumn and get exploring and playing! A few munchables will keep you energised too. Share your adventures with us here!
