Those of you who have been following Simple Kids or Rockin’ Granola, know what a huge fan I am of Eileen Straiton’s Little Acorn Learning childcare guides. I’m so excited because today Eileen is generously offering a giveaway of one of her new Afterschool Guides and an Autumn Menu!
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you!
September Afterschool Guide
The afterschool guides were created to help parents and caregivers create a healthy, rhythmic, and peaceful home for their school aged children.
The guides are designed for use with children attending traditional school, Waldorf school, private school, childcare centers, or with homeschooled children. They are a tool for extending learning after school and on the weekends.
From the Little Acorn Learning website:
“Our goal is to reconnect children with nature while supporting the caregiver’s soul – helping providers find true meaning and purpose in their work with young children. We inspire a love for nature and the home arts.”
The September Afterschool guide is an e-book pdf file containing four weeks of stories, handwork, and learning enrichment – a $22.99 value.
Autumn Menu
The Autumn childcare menu was developed by a professional nutritionist and Waldorf kindergarten teacher and is a menu for a week’s worth of recipes intended to be rotated throughout the season.
Each day includes a recipe for breakfast, two snacks, and lunch.
“Autumn, the days are getting cooler, and the harvest is in full swing. We can find fresh vegetables and apples, pears and nuts everywhere. Children are hungry for warming grains, sweet fruits and hardy vegetables. Here you will find plenty of inspiration to keep your menus as vibrant as the Fall colors.”
The Autumn Nourishment Childcare Menu is a pdf file, valued at $12.99.

I love pumpkin season and all the colours of autumn!
Its hard to choose just one thing, since fall is my favorite season, but it would have to be watching my kids play in the fallen leaves!

A time to reinvent.
I love the smell of wood burning in the fireplace. I love a crisp breeze worthy of wearing a sweatshirt and shorts. I love the changing colors of beauty among the trees.

I love the cooler days after a too-hot summer and the chance to wear cozy clothes again.
What a fab. giveaway! And what`s not to love about Fall…
I think my very most favorite thing about fall is the color! So inspiring. Fall is my favorite season to spend outdoors with my kiddos in nature.

I love almost everything about the autumn
Love the colors, love apple-picking, love picking nuts, collecting leaves, being cuddled with my little one while it is raining outside, feeling how the nature is calming down and preparing for the winter….
There are too many things I like about Fall….
The changing leaves, getting back into a routine, cooler temps are more conducive to cooking and baking, wearing a warm sweatshirt, my birthday….these are just a few!

My favorite things are the colors, especially decorating for autumn, and the cooler temps, so I can sit out on my balcony for hours, enjoying the breeze and the swaying trees.

My favorite thing about fall is the crisp cool air, the nature walks through forest littered with all of the fallen maple leaves and listening to them crunch under the kids feet as they jump on them and all of the beautiful colors that fall brings with it

I love the cooler weather that autumn brings to our area. I also love to see the colorful trees as the leaves change.

do I have to pick *one* thing? If so, then my favorite thing is relief from the oppressive heat of Houston summer. But I can’t stop at one thing: football, fall food, holidays, leaves falling…oh, it’s just all wonderful!
My favorite thing about autumn is the smell of burning candles inside a carved-out pumpkin.

I love the smell of the crisp fall air, the changing colors of the leaves, collecting acorns, and wearing my favorite jeans! : )

Following Simple Kids by email – awesome!
I love the pink cheeks, big smiles and fantastic giggles that come from walks with my little ones outside in the crisp air.
like most of the other posts, it’s so hard to choose just one thing! i love wearing jeans & sweaters again, having an abundance of pumpkin-related foods and beverages, the return of soup weather, the changing colors, the rustle of leaves underfoot, fresh apple cider, and bonfires – to name a few. : )
