The days are getting cooler, the trees are changing color, and pumpkins are starting to appear everywhere.
This is probably one of the best times of the year to go out with the family!
If you're wondering what to do in Gatineau this fall with the kids , here are 7 simple ideas to fully enjoy the season.
1. š Spend a day on the farm
No need to leave Gatineau to offer children a real outing to the countryside.
At Ferme Ćco des Champs, in the Aylmer sector , families can discover the farm at their own pace, enjoy the outdoors and meet the animals.
Children love being able to observe them closely, pet them and feed them.
A very simple activity that allows you to disconnect a little from the city and spend time together outdoors.
2. š Choosing your pumpkin
It's impossible to talk about autumn without talking about pumpkins!
Choosing the perfect pumpkin together is one of the little traditions that children look forward to every year.
Big, small, round, funny or completely imperfect: let them choose their favorite to decorate the house or prepare for Halloween.
Take the opportunity to take some autumn photos during your visit to the farm.
3. šØ Painting a ceramic
Cooler days are also perfect for slowing down and creating.
At the farm, our school bus transformed into a ceramic painting studio welcomes young and old for an original creative activity.
Choose your room, your colours and let your imagination run wild.
We then take care of glazing and baking your creation.
A particularly enjoyable activity to combine with a visit to the animals.
4. Go on an autumn color hunt
Turn a simple walk into a little game!
Ask the children to find:
š a red leaf
š a yellow leaf
š° an acorn
šæ something green
šŖµ an original branch
š something orange
No need for complicated equipment.
It's a very simple way to get them to observe the nature around them more.
5. Take family photos outdoors
Autumn colours naturally create magnificent scenery.
Take advantage of an outing to take some spontaneous photos of the children with animals, pumpkins or simply in nature.
No need for an official photo shoot: the best memories are often those taken while everyone is simply enjoying the moment.
6. Bring a snack and take your time
A family activity does not always need to be completed from beginning to end.
Prepare some snacks, dress the children warmly and simply enjoy the outdoors.
Autumn is a beautiful season to slow down a bit, observe the animals and let the children explore.
7. Combine several activities into a single outing
Why choose just one activity?
An autumn day at the Ferme Ćco des Champs can combine:
š Pumpkins
š The encounter with the animals
š¾ the outdoors
šØ Ceramic painting
šø Autumn photos
šØš©š§š¦ family time
This allows you to create your outing according to the children's ages, the weather, and the time you have available.
An autumn outing just minutes from the city
No need to plan a complicated excursion to enjoy the season.
The Ferme Ćco des Champs in Aylmer allows families to rediscover a bit of the countryside close to Gatineau and to discover several activities in the same place.
