There are lots of things to look forward to in the cosy month of November and not just the build-up to Christmas...

For example, this Friday night, the UK will be able to celebrate fireworks night for the first time in over a year! So expect lots of colourful night skies and excited children.

There is also the wonder of nature turning from Autumn to Winter, with leaves falling and frosty mornings. This is the perfect excuse to go out on a family hike and if you’re looking for inspiration on where to go the National Trust have selected their Top Winter Walk here.

They have also put together some Autumn activities for all the family to do whilst on a walk or for when you get home! Ideas like what to do with your harvest from your garden or allotment, a collectors sheet to take on a walk and games like Top Trunks where it’s all about finding the best trunk, whose got the oldest, the most twisty or knobbly! Download them for free here.

If the weather isn’t on your side and you don’t feel like taking that winter walk we have a wide range of garden related toys to inspire the nature lover in you from the comfort of your own home! There’s the epic Garden Wheelbarrow Set which comes with everything you need for some pretend play gardening, the popular Flower Bed and for younger children we have Garden Blocks and Stacking Garden Friends.
