An Autumn Morning with Grandma Screen-Free Visit Pack, Leaf Walk Pumpkin Pie Leaf People, All Ages Charlotte Mason Printable

A cozy, screen-free autumn morning for Grandma and the children.

An Autumn Morning with Grandma is a printable visit pack for about two or three hours — with a shorter path if you need it. There is a Thanksgiving poem to read aloud, two verses and a harvest hymn, a walk among the leaves (and an indoor hunt for cold or wet days), a simple pumpkin pie you can bake together (a glad nod to the Thanksgiving poem), Leaf People to make from finds on the walk, with picture steps and a reusable printable template, a good book, and time to snack and talk. You do not need a special set-up, and you do not have to do every page.

This is a seasonal companion to our spring Morning with Grandma pack. The shape of the morning is the same; the leaves, the hymn, and the smell from the oven are new. You can use either pack on its own.

What's included (1 PDF, 21 pages, US Letter)
- A simple one-page plan for a cozy 2–3 hour morning, with a 90-minute shorter path
- A selection from Over the River and Through the Wood, by Lydia Maria Child, to read aloud
- Psalm 100:4–5 and Psalm 65:11 (New Living Translation), and verse 1 of Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
- An autumn leaf walk, plus an indoor hunt for days you stay in
- Easy Pumpkin Pie, with picture steps, to bake together
- Leaf People, with picture steps, a reusable printable template, and a finished example
- Snack-and-chat questions, both ways
- A page for reading a good book together, with classic and newer suggestions and a little reading log
- A Then and Now page, for sharing between the generations
- A keepsake page, with a Grandma-and-me photo or drawing spot
- A few notes that have helped at our table, for a busy or wiggly morning

How to use: Print at 100% (Actual size) on US Letter. Use the leaf walk or the indoor hunt, whichever suits the day. You can put the pie in the oven and let it bake and cool while you craft or look at a book. An adult minds the hot oven. The bake uses ordinary kitchen supplies: a store-bought or press-in graham crust, canned pumpkin, and a few pantry staples. The craft is Leaf People: the only real supply is glue to stick things down, plus paper or the printable template, a crayon or pencil, and finds from the walk (leaves, moss, small sticks, seeds). Glitter, or a little drawn background, is optional.

Written and designed for all ages, so older and younger children can share the same morning. Charlotte Mason inspired, unhurried, and meant to feel like a visit: snacks, stories, baking, leaves, and making. The poem and the hymn verse are in the public domain. Scripture quotations are from the New Living Translation and are used by permission of Tyndale House Ministries (see the credits page in the PDF). Pages are printed and used at home; nothing is filled in on the screen.

Artwork is original and was created with the help of AI tools, then laid out and checked by hand.
