Autumn seasonal recipes and sensory activities

Seasonal autumn-themed activities and recipes focus on sensory engagement and baking. A custom autumn spice blend can be made by combining ground cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and mace.

For children, autumn sensory play includes activities such as making autumn-spiced play dough using cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, or creating an apple foam sensory bin using squeeze bottles, sponges, and bubble bath solution. Other ideas include exploring the textures of squashes and gourds or using shaving cream to create ghost shapes in bath water.
