The autumn break is just around the corner, and for us, it means tranquility, coziness, and plenty of family time. It's the season when rain sometimes pours down, and you find yourself under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and the aroma of freshly baked rolls in the kitchen. Or perhaps, taking a stroll in the forest to witness the fall colors unfold. I clearly remember how, as a child, I loved those days of simply being – no plans, wearing comfy clothes, yet having lots of fun activities within reach.
At Lirum Larum Leg, we've gathered many ideas to help you create the perfect autumn break at home, filled with creativity, laughter, and both small and big moments.
Naturally, it's time to make chestnut animals and leaf wreaths as the autumn leaves fall. We start to cozy up more and spend more time indoors, searching for engaging activities. Autumn offers so many cozy activities that it can be hard to decide. Read on for some great ideas for autumn coziness that range from embroidery and baking to outdoor games.
Creative Activities for Rainy Days
When the rain pitter-patters against the window, it's time to bring out the creative materials. Kids love using their hands, and creative activities are a wonderful way to find peace together.
With us, you'll find a wide range of creative sets for both girls and boys, including everything from paints, beads, and handcraft to DIY jewelry sets and modelling clay. For the little ones, you can make handprints, paint stones, or create little cards for the grandparents. Older children can dive into mosaics, embroidery, or drawing and painting sets. The possibilities are plenty, and with us, you'll find creative play kits for kids of all ages and interests. It's not about achieving perfection – it's about creating something together.
Beads and Pegboards – Classic Creative Fun
One of the most timeless and enjoyable activities with children is working with beads. At Lirum Larum Leg, we have a large selection of Hama beads and pegboards in many sizes and colors, so hands big and small can participate. Create everything from simple characters to colorful patterns, and enjoy the calm that arises when children immerse themselves in beads and figures.
Autumn Means Drawing and Painting – Delightful Immersion for Kids
If your children prefer pencils and brushes, find tranquility with coloring books and drawing sets. We offer everything from classic coloring books with cute designs to more advanced sketch pads, markers, and colored pencils, all inviting free imagination and creative expression. It’s a perfect afternoon activity when the rain drizzles outside, and peace settles indoors.
Games, Puzzles, and Family Fun
When darkness falls and the candles are lit, gathering around a game is the coziest activity. At Lirum Larum Leg, you'll find a broad selection of family-friendly games and puzzles for all ages.
Try a strategy game like Sequence with the older kids, a fun children's game from Djeco for the little ones, or gather the whole family for a puzzle from eeBoo – it’s a wonderful way to immerse yourselves together. Yes, it perfectly pairs with hot cocoa and cookies on the table.
Bake with Kids – Enjoy the Scent of Coziness
Autumn is also the time when the oven is back in action in the kitchen. Kids love baking, and it’s a delightful activity where they can learn new things and have fun. Personally, I love having the kids join me in the kitchen. Despite the chaos and impatience, I feel it is an activity that truly provides quality time together, a sense of creation that can later be enjoyed with the children.
Get inspired by our baking books for children, such as Our Baking Adventure or Baking Factory, and let the kids choose what’s on the menu. With an apron and a dusting of flour on their nose, laughter and good memories are guaranteed.

LEGO® – Immersion for All Ages
LEGO® is a timeless classic, and the autumn break is the perfect time to build. Personally, I've spent countless autumn breaks on the floor with my brother, constructing LEGO® in all its various forms. LEGO® is so fantastic that you can keep going and going, with creativity never ending.
With us, you'll find LEGO® for children of all ages and with a wide range of interests – from LEGO® Friends and LEGO® City LEGO® Technic and LEGO® DUPLO for the little ones... and, of course, everything else LEGO®.
LEGO® is fantastic because it enhances both concentration and creativity, with the whole family able to join in. Build together, have a little competition – or create your own autumn universe with houses, trees, and small animals.
Explore Nature – and Take Play Outside
Even though the weather may be chilly, autumn is also the most beautiful time of year for outdoor play, if you ask me. Pull on your rain boots and take the kids to the forest to collect leaves, chestnuts, and sticks. In our category "Explore Nature", you'll find everything from binoculars, whittling knives, nature books, and outdoor creative sets, making the trip to the forest part of the play.
Try, for example, a whittling knife for the older kids to make your own arrows or magic wands. Bring an insect jar to examine the fall's tiny creatures, or construct your own insect or bird hotel for the garden with one of our creative kits. Combine the outing with a warm cup of tea from the thermos – and you have the perfect autumn day, where kids come home with rosy cheeks and are ready to snuggle under warm blankets.
Check out our brand Moulin Roty Outdoor Toys, where you'll find the loveliest products, perfect for exploring nature as it is right now.
An Autumn Filled with Togetherness and Play
The autumn break doesn't need to be meticulously planned – the most important thing is to find peace, togetherness, and time to be with each other. Whether you choose to build, bake, paint, or play, Lirum Larum Leg has everything you need to create small moments of joy.
