5 great activities for the autumn

1. Bake a cake - grab yourself some cheap ingredients and get mucky - kids love baking and its a fun way to spend family time on a rainy day

2. Go on a bug hunt - you needn't go far... the damp weather will lead the spiders and bugs into your shed and the kids love looking at the 'mini-beasts'

3. Carve a pumpkin - even better... pick your own pumpkin - there are lots of local pumpkin farmers offering pick your own - and its usually cheaper than the supermarket - and much more fun!

4. Gardening with the kids - plant the bulbs for spring... kids love to get muddy and it helps you out too!

5. A walk in the fallen leaves - kids like nothing more than to pull on the wellies and head to the park to kick around the recently fallen leaves - and best of all its FREE!
