  Take Aarsin outside for a nature walk. Look for colorful leaves, acorns, and other signs of fall. Ask Aarsin to collect some interesting leaves or small items that represent fall.

  Using the collected leaves, create a fun art project. Aarsin can glue the leaves onto paper to make a fall collage. Discuss the different colors and shapes of the leaves while creating.
