What can I do with toddler tomorrow?

Day off tomorrow just me and dd3. I’m struggling with ideas on what to do with her. We go to the park and local NT place all the time. We go swimming a lot. We’ve had a day of chores and life admin today so I just feel like I’d like to spend a nice autumnal day together while older dc are at school. Nothing too expensive or taxing!

Any ideas or inspo? Thank you.

I went to an urban farm the other day with my 4 year old. Had a lovely day feeding sheep, goats and chickens and it wasn't expensive. Other farm things, you might catch the end of the pick your own season if there's anywhere nearby. Usually not expensive and you can make something with what you picked when home.

Other than that beach, if near one, a walk in the woods or somewhere you could do a bit of a nature trail/bug hunt (a magnifying glass or binoculars make a walk more fun!)

Looks sunny where we are tomorrow so it's nice to get outside while we still can.

Berry collecting? Can make a pie, or crush them into nature paint and do a collage at home or paint on some rocks if outdoors. Or if you have the magnatiles can collect and press some autumn leaves. Collect apples if you have anywhere nearby to do that.

Or if you have the Stickman book make a stickman and find his family tree.

Bake some buns and take them for an autumnal picnic, collect some leaves and stick onto hedgehog shaped card for autumn “craft”? Go to the library and challenge her to find a picture of a cat, penguin, egg etc. Go in the bus somewhere, make an adventure of it? Ask her what she wants to do most? Have fun!

Make jam tarts or scones together, then have a picnic in the garden or the living room, depending on the weather.
Go for a walk and collect some autumn leaves. Use the leaves to make a decoration for the house, or a picture.

Go to the beach if you're near one and have a 99

Go on the bus into town and have lunch out together

Make biscuits or brownies together

Go to the park and fly a kite

Ask her 1 thing she would like to do - she may surprise you with something doable
