Back to School Sustainably: Fall Transition Activities for Kids
As the warm summer days wind down and crisp fall air begins to creep in, the transition back to school often feels like a reset for the entire family. For many parents, this time of year brings the challenge of finding sustainable and fun ways to help their children transition from summer fun to a school routine while also enjoying the seasonal shift. At Bohemian Mama, we believe in blending eco-conscious choices with creativity and adventure. Here are some family-friendly, sustainable activities to help your little ones ease into the school year while celebrating the arrival of fall.
Eco-Friendly Back-to-School Supplies
Before the new school year begins, take this opportunity to introduce sustainable habits by opting for eco-friendly school supplies. Instead of buying plastic binders or synthetic backpacks, look for brands that focus on sustainable materials like recycled paper, organic cotton, or reusable containers. Set up a DIY station at home where your kids can personalize their supplies by decorating notebooks with recycled paper, old magazines, and eco-friendly craft supplies. This not only reduces waste but allows your child to express their creativity.
Organize a Back-to-School Clothing Swap
As your child transitions into the school year, they might need new clothes for the fall weather. Rather than buying an entirely new wardrobe, organize a clothing swap with friends and neighbors. Gather gently used kids' clothing, including cozy sweaters and fall jackets, and let the children swap their outgrown outfits. This is a fun, social way to update their wardrobe sustainably while teaching kids about the importance of reusing and recycling.
Plan a Nature-Based Scavenger Hunt
As summer turns to fall, nature provides an ideal backdrop for outdoor family fun. Organize a fall-themed scavenger hunt for your kids, focusing on eco-friendly and nature-based items. Create a list of things to find, such as colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones, or specific types of plants. This activity encourages children to spend time outdoors and connect with nature while learning about the seasonal changes happening around them. After the hunt, you can use the collected items for arts and crafts or a simple nature display in your home.
DIY Fall-Themed Crafts Using Recycled Materials
Get into the fall spirit by hosting a family craft day using recycled materials. Encourage your little ones to create fun fall decorations, like leaf garlands, pumpkin art, or homemade bookmarks for school. Use recycled paper, cardboard, and natural materials from your scavenger hunt to make eco-friendly crafts. This is a great way to engage their creativity while also teaching the importance of reducing waste and repurposing items.
Pack Sustainable Lunches
A sustainable back-to-school routine includes eco-friendly lunchtime practices. Swap single-use plastic bags and containers for reusable options like stainless steel lunchboxes or biodegradable sandwich wraps. Get your kids involved in packing their lunch by choosing organic, local, and in-season foods. Preparing fun, waste-free lunches helps children develop healthy habits while minimizing your family’s environmental impact.
Visit a Local Farm or Farmers’ Market
One of the best ways to embrace the fall season is to visit a local farm or farmers’ market with your children. Many farms offer pick-your-own activities, where kids can gather seasonal produce like apples, pumpkins, or berries. This teaches them the importance of supporting local businesses, understanding where their food comes from, and appreciating the freshness of seasonal eating. Plus, it’s a great way to get them excited about cooking healthy meals at home!
Fall Storytime & Cozy Reading Nooks
As the days get shorter and cooler, set up a cozy reading nook for your little ones where they can curl up with a good book. Pick fall-themed, nature-based stories that encourage a love for reading while celebrating the season. Use sustainable blankets and pillows made from organic cotton or recycled materials to create a warm and inviting space. Storytime is also a perfect way to wind down after a long day at school and foster a love for literature.
Family Hike & Outdoor Exploration
Fall is the perfect time to take your kids on an outdoor adventure. Plan a family hike or a trip to a local nature preserve to see the leaves change colors. Bring along reusable water bottles and sustainable snacks, like homemade granola bars wrapped in beeswax wraps. Hiking allows your children to burn off energy, stay active, and connect with nature, while also offering a calming break from their school routine.
Sustainable Back-to-School Routine
As you and your children settle into the new school year, consider establishing sustainable habits at home that can carry into the classroom. Create a chore chart that incorporates eco-friendly practices, like turning off lights when leaving a room, recycling, and using less water. You can even incentivize these habits with fun, eco-conscious rewards, like a trip to a local park or an afternoon of crafting with recycled materials.
Plan a Fall Camping Trip
Celebrate the end of summer and the start of fall with a family camping trip. Whether in your backyard or at a nearby campsite, camping is a great way to embrace the change in seasons. Teach your kids how to respect nature by leaving no trace and using eco-friendly camping gear, like reusable plates and utensils. Bring along cozy, sustainable clothing from Bohemian Mama’s collection to keep your little ones warm as you enjoy stargazing and storytelling around the campfire.
