Autumn break is just around the corner, and for us, that means peace, coziness, and lots of family time. It's a time when the rain sometimes pours down, and you find yourself snuggled under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and the scent of freshly baked buns in the kitchen. Or perhaps you venture out into the woods to witness the fall colors in bloom. I vividly remember how much I loved those days as a child, where we simply were – no plans, in comfy clothes, but with tons of fun activities within reach.
At Lirum Larum Leg, we have compiled a plethora of ideas on how you can create the perfect autumn holiday at home – filled with creativity, laughter, and both small and large moments.
Now, it's obvious that it's time to build chestnut animals and leaf wreaths when the autumn foliage falls. We start to nest a bit more, spending more time indoors, and need to find entertaining activities. Autumn offers so many cozy things, it's almost hard to choose. Read more below for great ideas for autumn coziness that ranges from embroidery, cake baking, outdoor activities, and games.
Creative Activities for the Rainy Days
When the rain drums 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 tranquility together.
With us, you'll find a great selection of creative sets for both girls and boys, featuring everything from paints, beads, and handicrafts to DIY jewelry sets and modeling clay. For the little ones, you can make handprints, paint stones, or create small cards for grandparents. For older children, dive into mosaics, embroidery, or drawing and painting sets. There are numerous possibilities, and with us, you'll find creative play sets for children 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 you can do with children is to get out the beads. At Lirum Larum Leg, we offer a wide selection of Hama beads and pegboards in various sizes and colors, so both big and small hands can join in. Create everything from simple figures to colorful patterns – and enjoy the calm that arises when children immerse themselves in beads and figures.
Autumn Means Drawing and Painting – A Cozy Focus for Kids
If the kids are more inclined towards pencils and brushes, you can find tranquility with coloring books and drawing sets. We have everything from classic coloring books with cute motifs to more advanced sketchpads, markers, and colored pencils, inviting free imagination and creative expression. It's a perfect activity for afternoons when rain drizzles outside and calm settles indoors.
Games, Puzzles, and Family Fun
When darkness falls and the candles are lit, there's nothing cozier than gathering around a game. At Lirum Larum Leg, you'll find a vast 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 for the youngest from Djeco, or bring the whole family together for a puzzle from eeBoo – it's a wonderful way to immerse together. And yes, it pairs perfectly with hot cocoa and cookies on the table.
Bake with Kids – and Enjoy the Scent of Coziness
Autumn is also the time when the oven gets to warm up the kitchen again. Children love baking, and it's a delightful activity where they can both learn new skills and have fun. Personally, I love having the kids in the kitchen. Despite the chaos and impatience, I think it's an activity that truly provides quality time together, a sense of creating something with the children that can be enjoyed afterwards.
Find inspiration in our baking books for children, like Our Baking Adventure or Baking Factory, and let the kids choose what's on the menu. With an apron and a bit of flour on the nose, there's a guarantee of laughter and good memories.

LEGO® – Immersion for All Ages
LEGO® is a timeless classic, and autumn break is the perfect time to start building. I have spent countless autumn breaks on the floor with my brother, constructing LEGO® in all its forms. LEGO® is fantastic because you can keep going, and the creativity knows no bounds.
With us, you'll find LEGO® for children of all age groups and with a wide range of interests – from LEGO® Friends and LEGO® City to LEGO® Technic and LEGO® DUPLO for the youngest... and of course, everything else LEGO®.
LEGO® is fantastic because it enhances both concentration and creativity, while involving the whole family. Build together, create a little competition – or construct your own autumn universe with houses, trees, and small animals.
Venture into Nature – and Take Play Along
Although the weather can be chilly, autumn is also the most beautiful time of year for outdoor play, in my opinion. Put on the rubber boots, and take the kids to the forest to collect leaves, chestnuts, and sticks. In our "Exploring Nature" category, you'll find everything from binoculars, whittling knives, nature books, and outdoor creative sets, which make a forest outing part of the play.
Try a whittling knife for the older kids, so you can make your own arrows or wands. Bring an insect jar to study autumn's small creatures, or build your own insect or bird hotel for the garden with one of our creative sets. Combine the trip with a warm cup of tea in the thermos – and you have the perfect autumn day. Where the kids come home with rosy cheeks ready to cozy up under warm blankets.
Do check out our brand Moulin Roty Outdoor Toys, where you'll find wonderful products, perfect for exploring nature just as it is right now.
An Autumn Filled with Closeness and Play
Autumn break doesn't need to be planned in detail – the most important thing is to find calm, closeness, and time to be together. Whether you choose to build, bake, paint, or play, at Lirum Larum Leg you'll find everything you need to create small moments of joy.
