The ABCs of Fall

The much anticipated sequel to the ABCs of Summer

As you were getting ready for back to school, we asked you to brush up on your ABC’s by telling us what you loved most about fall. There is a ton of fun to be had as the weather gets cooler. Here’s a whole alphabet full of inspiration!

A is for apple picking excursions and baking for amusement and ambrosia. If there’s anything better than biting into a crisp apple straight from the tree, its biting into a piece of homemade pie.

B is for Bluejays! Back-to-School! Breezes! @karengreeners

Back to school is not a bummer when baseball game trips are on the calendar.

C is for chill, costumes, candy apples, coziness. @karengreeners

Most fall chills are easily remedied by candy apples.

D is for dancing in the rain! @Sjgpotter

The ABCs of Summer

A-B-C, it’s easy as 1-2-3!

The ABCs aren’t just for the school year. There’s always lots to do in these sunny summer days, and the alphabet lessons that your kindergartners will learn in September just might help you keep track of the best ones. We asked our amazing Twitter and Facebook peeps for their favourites, and here you have ‘em!

A is for Archaeology digs in the backyard. Everyone can make and bury “artifacts” and when you dig up each others’ sites, you’ll have to guess when/where the artifacts are from. Or you can always see what’s actually in your backyard. Old buttons? Disintegrating newspaper? An ancient burial ground?

B is for Butterflies and bugs to discover. –Stephanie

Get down near the ground to see the creepy-crawlies or jump up into the air to watch the butterflies flutter by.
