Family traditions are a way to connect with your family members and feel a sense of belonging and community. They create lasting memories that can be shared with future generations. Not only can traditions enhance and add meaning to celebrations, they can add a sense of predictability and comfort to family life.
My favorite fall tradition is what I call the Fall Scavenger Hunt. When my 3 daughters were young, elementary school age, we took our bags and went to look for pretty natural items like leaves and pine cones. We would lay them out and talk about what we liked about each item. Sometimes we even made crafts out of the leaves and pine cones.
My kids are older and we still enjoy appreciating and looking for natural fall items. Here is a free list we use to make the fall scavenger hunt an important family tradition.
Enjoy and Happy Hunting!
