🧁 Autumn Snack Ideas

Expect cozy, nut-free treats such as mini pumpkin muffins, apple slices with cinnamon dip, and warm cider to keep everyone energized for the evening.

🎨 Activities

Painted Glass Lanterns - Children paint and decorate glass jars using acrylics or translucent colors, add LED tea lights, and create glowing lanterns to take home.
Leaf Bowl - Ciotola-foglia in Argilla - Each child creates a clay bowl pressed with a real leaf, then paints and seals it after drying.

🎲 Games

Calm Games

Musical Statues / Statue Musicali - Kids dance to bilingual cues; when the music stops, everyone freezes. Bilingual cue: “Freeze! / Fermi!”
Blindfold Autumn / Mosca Cieca Autunnale - One child is blindfolded; others say “foglia” or “leaf” and the blindfolded player guesses who spoke.

Active Game

Flying Leaf / Foglia Volante - Each child gets a paper leaf; on “vento!” they blow it across the floor without using hands. Fast, contact-free fun.

📸 Photo Corner - “Autumn Lights Corner”

Set up at pick-up time so families can snap a photo memory under our lantern backdrop.
