Ellie from Ellie’s Little World–“I am definitely more motivated to blog over autumn/winter. I just feel like I have so many more ideas as they’re themed and in the summer I struggle to come up with ideas.” Kay from The Craft Room and Beyond–“I think summer has the least seasonal activity. You get quite a run from October, a gap from July-September and repeat. Summer content is usually pretty variable, 2020 is a hard one to use as an example though given how the year’s been!” These autumn colouring sheets are a great way to make your children more familiar with the season of autumn and the kinds of things they can expect to see in autumn-time. Stephanie from She Saw Style–“Autumn and winter are when I’m the most motivated to write. I feel inspired in autumn since it cools down and I can take more photos outside or I can decorate for the holidays. And winter has the holidays themselves to write on! So much more fun – and more campaigns are available.” This EYFS All About Autumn PowerPoint, a lovely PowerPoint that teaches EYFS children about the type of weather to expect during autumn, what we should wear and what autumn is like around the world.

Autumn is a great time of year with loads of seasonal changes and interesting weather. When we're not teaching our children about autumn, their little minds are occupied with the changes in scenery. So, this is a great time to use some themed activities for subjects like maths. This Autumn Addition Activity is perfect for helping children with number recognition and adding numbers together.Our Autumn Vocabulary Poster is a brilliant visual aid to use when you're teaching your pupils autumn words. It features 24 words all together, and each one has its own hand-drawn illustration to match. Alexandra from Saturday Life Girl –“I find blogging in autumn/winter very motivating compared to spring/summer. But I think that’s due to the fact that in autumn/winter it’s cold, it’s dark early and the only place I feel like being is wrapped up in front of the TV. So being sat there with not a lot to do really motivates me to focus on writing blog posts and doing other blogging related tasks. Whereas in spring and summer months the nights are lighter, it’s warmer and the last thing I feel like doing is being sat indoors in front of a screen.” Claire from Our Favourite Jar–“I find summer content more difficult to create and it’s also generally quieter as well because of people holidays and having children at home. Some great content goes almost unnoticed as people are not around as often to read it. But I love using the summer to plan all of my autumn/winter content. It just feels like there are so many available topics to cover that I never struggle for ideas like I do at other times. My busiest months are October to December in terms of views as well. It goes hand in hand with my favourite time of year so maybe that’s why I find it easier to focus on and create content.” Personally I think blogging does change through out the year for me. I much prefer creating autumn and Christmas content which is why you’ll find a lot of that on this blog but not so much spring/summer content. I’m far more motivated to create content in the autumn too but that probably links to the fact that I’m writing content I really love too. I just have so many ideas for autumn and Christmas content.

We also recommend some of our Autumn-themed activities and resources, like our Autumn Tree Cutting Skills Activity to further encourage your children to work on their fine motor skills. Emily from Love, Em–“As much as I love the summer, it’s just too hot to write. When everyone is on holiday, it’s demotivating because your blog stats drop despite putting in the same amount of effort as the winter. I love autumn/winter for writing. You can snuggle up with a coffee and write for hours. I am more productive when it’s colder. More people are staying in and reading your posts which gives you that extra boost to keep going!” My thoughts Jupiter from Jupiter Hadley–“Part of why I change through seasons is the season specific challenges like blogtober and blogmas, where if you participate you can end up joining into groups who are also taking part and motivating each other.” Izzy from Izzy Matias–“We only have two seasons where I’m from ; rainy and dry. I’m definitely more motivated during the rainy season as it’s harder to focus when it’s scorching and when my laptop heats up.”Don’t forget to serve up some Seasonal Food Favorites like fresh fruits, vine-ripen tomatoes, and watermelons. I’m just super passionate about autumn and Christmas content, honestly if I could write it all year round I would! How great would that be?! There’s just something really nice about snuggling down with a blanket and some sweet autumn candles lit and producing content I love. These autumn colouring sheets are extremely beneficial for your children. Firstly, colouring is a great way for your children to practice and develop their fine motor skills. Fine motor skills refer to our ability to make small movements in our hands, fingers, and wrists. Indeed, Summer 2020 has not been a text book kind of summer full of changes and challenges. So now, as we say goodbye to summer, we look forward to a healthy and safe autumn for all. More Thoughts On Summer I’m definitely not a summer content girl but when the weather is nice I do love sitting outside and reading all day rather than working on my blog. Living in the U.K. is perfect for cosy blogging days in the colder months.
