The end of summer does not mean the end of outdoor fun. Here are five cool things for kids to do in Wanaka in Autumn.
1) Go for a walk along the Outlet Track and collect as many differently-coloured leaves as you can find. Glue them onto a piece of paper to make pictures. Try to make a sun, a monkey, a boat and a flower.
2) Play Poohsticks at the bridge over Bullock Creek next to the Dinosaur Park. Collect some sticks with some friends. Each of you drops a stick into the creek on the upstream side of the bridge and then you all watch to see which stick gets to Lake Wanaka first!
3) Pay $2 at the log cabin on the lakefront to get a cup of fish food and feed the eels off the end of the wharf.
4) Take a digital camera outside and take extreme close-up pictures of plants, bugs and other objects you find. Then challenge a grownup to guess what’s in each photo.
5) Go for a swing and pump for as long as you can. Soon it will be too cold for swinging!
