Fall is a wonderful time of the year: the air gets a little crisper, the world is transformed into hues of red, yellow and orange while leaves crunch under your feet and it's finally time to carve pumpkins! For growing minds, the seasons changing from summer to fall can be both exciting and a little confusing, due to little ones' concepts of time. Teaching your children about the new season and all of the fun that comes along with it is a brilliant way to make the changes enjoyable.
