It&#8217;s a time for learning, discovering, socialising and growing up! When you think about it, there are many reasons to celebrate the start of the new school year in September, just as there are to celebrate the arrival of the holidays in July!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">What&#8217;s more, the autumn season offers a tremendous potential for a wide variety of sensory experiences: picking up fallen leaves, watching the trees change colour, smelling the dampness in nature, tasting the produce of the moment, with apples and pumpkins at the top of the list..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">For our children, as for us, a new season means a new stage, new sensations and new experiences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group grid-sensorielle container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" id=\"pourquoi-travailler-sur-les-5-sens\" style=\"color:#3c7a95;font-size:24px\"><strong>Back to school, a time of socialisation for young children<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Back to nursery or back to school &#8211; it&#8217;s an emblematic time for young children and a memorable one for their parents. Especially if it&#8217;s the first time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">The start of the new school year means a break with the family cocoon of the summer. The rhythm changes too: you have to get up earlier, and go to bed earlier too (and just as well, the days are getting shorter!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Above all, this is the season when children are learning &#8211; and learning is essential &#8211; the first rules of life in society: they will gradually come to realise that they need a framework in which to evolve with others, while at the same time asserting their autonomy and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;Others&#8221;: this is a challenge for the child, who needs to move away from &#8220;ego-centredness&#8221;, as Jean Epstein puts it! By meeting new people, children learn to appreciate difference and diversity. They are already learning to adapt, to coexist with children and adults outside the family, with their differences and the variety of their personalities. They develop more or less affinities, exchange ideas, remember first names, recognise faces..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>Preserving family time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-3.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4520\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-3.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-img-4520\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-3.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Family life isn&#8217;t just for holidays. Caught up in the hectic pace of back-to-school, we can tend to reduce time spent together to the bare minimum, and that&#8217;s too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">At the end of the day or at the weekend, family time can be cultivated all year round. Whether it&#8217;s playing with your child, getting them involved in your activities (cooking, for example) or organising moments that are truly shared, like a walk or a trip to the swimming pool&#8230; The most important thing is to set aside time around your home, free from outside constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">But there&#8217;s one rule first: don&#8217;t forget yourself! It&#8217;s because you&#8217;ll be &#8216;well&#8217; that you&#8217;ll appear more available to your child. Don&#8217;t wait until 31 December to make good resolutions and establish good habits: organise yourself to set aside time for relaxation and oxygenation: sport, reading, walking, relaxation&#8230; whatever you want (or can!) as long as this activity allows you to breathe and take time for something other than the &#8220;tasks&#8221; of everyday life, whether professional or domestic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Take this opportunity to put your smartphone or tablet screens to one side for a while. Look around you and enjoy your growing child&#8230; fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>New sensations: make the most of the season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Autumn is no time for hibernation. On the contrary, all your senses remain alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">The change is obvious: we smell it, we see it, we breathe it, we taste it, we hear it, we touch it. It&#8217;s a great opportunity to teach your child about the cycles of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">How can you do this? By drawing their attention to the changes that take place, without over-stimulating them and respecting their rhythm. We encourage their imagination and support them with simple phrases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;It&#8217;s still dark this morning, it&#8217;s autumn&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;It&#8217;s time to go to bed: it&#8217;s getting dark earlier&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;You remember, the leaves were all green this summer. What colour are they now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;Have you seen the dead leaves on the ground? They&#8217;ve fallen off the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">&#8220;It&#8217;s raining! It&#8217;s normal, it&#8217;s autumn, and it&#8217;s very important: nature needs it, it&#8217;s thirsty after such a hot summer&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Talking to your child will not only help them to expand their vocabulary, it will also explain to them how winter is coming, and how nature is resting before coming back to life again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Go for a walk and let your child enjoy the damp ground and the changing smells. Together, collect large dead leaves and pine cones. Look at the mushrooms that have sprung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">At the table, enjoy the new fruit and vegetables that have appeared on the shelves: pumpkins, chestnuts, walnuts and hazelnuts, apples, pears, grapes, rhubarb&#8230; An explosion of flavours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>New experiences: some activity ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-4.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4528\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-4.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-img-4528\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Design-sans-titre-1-copie-4.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Looking for ideas for your autumn afternoons or weekends? Here are just a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>A walk in the forest (or any other &#8220;green zone&#8221;).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">If you don&#8217;t have a forest nearby, parks and gardens are perfect for this too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">As you walk, join your child in exploring: look, smell and listen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Collect leaves, twigs, pine cones, chestnuts and chestnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">This is the season for water and wind. Wrapped up warm and wearing appropriate footwear, let your child smell the water, run through the puddles left by the rain (boots and oilskins are a must!), notice the air blowing in their face, making the trees tremble and even making noise! Then, for the wind, for example, you can reproduce these elements in the warmth of your own home, using straws or a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">And take a closer look: there are often even new little creatures taking advantage of the humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>The sensory tray.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">A classic for developing observation, concentration and fine motor skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Use a variety of containers: glass jars, wooden boxes, basins, unbreakable glasses, etc. Pour in some water. Place small floating objects (not too small or hurtful), including seasonal &#8220;finds&#8221; such as a large chestnut or pine cone. Give your child a large spoon and let him learn while having fun: if necessary, show him at the beginning what he can do, name things and watch him observe, touch, sub-pulse, decant, smell&#8230; By manipulating, he will integrate shapes, textures and colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">A little extra: count the objects that float or the spoons of water that are poured out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><strong>Artistic and cultural awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">There are lots of things you can do with autumnal elements: collect leaves in a herbarium, tape them to paper or cardboard to draw lines around them, paint pine cones, or create a seasonal mobile (a thread, leaves and drawings and you&#8217;re done!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">These are not just &#8220;pastimes&#8221;, but educational games that encourage visual discrimination and hand-eye coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">Another benefit is that these activities help to create a sensory environment, a landmark in the year that will leave a lasting, pleasant and useful imprint on the child. You can also use colours (especially orange tones), music, seasonal rhymes and books with pretty drawings and autumn stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">For more activities, we recommend this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lesprosdelapetiteenfance.fr\/eveil-activites\/ateliers-pedagogiques-et-fiches-activites\/ateliers-dautomne\/decouvertes-sensorielles-autour-de-lautomne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article from the blog Les Pros de la Petite Enfance<\/a>: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\">So: make the most of autumn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here you\u2019ll find our tips for the other seasons:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/en\/holidays-for-young-children-their-importance-our-advice\/\">summer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/en\/winter-activities-with-young-child\/\">winter<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/5senses4kids.org\/en\/multi-sensory-activities-spring\/\"> spring<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together, let&#8217;s consider the wonderful development opportunities that autumn offers our young children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parents-side"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Autumn: Great, we are back to school!
