30 Free Games and Activities for September

This week's picks for NYC parents from Mommy Poppins. [30 Free Games and Activities for September]( [It's fall! Time to gather up some changing leaves for fabulous art projects. Photo by Sara Frazier] September means summer is in the rearview, and thoughts turn to school, apple picking, colorful leaves, and more fall fun. One of my favorite ways to pick something new and fun to do on any given day is to celebrate a holiday! There are national days and holidays just about every day of the year, and it can be fun to take inspiration from them to plan an outing, craft, activity, treat, or game in honor of a silly holiday. September is home to National Playdough Day (below we've got an easy recipe to make your own) and Friday the 13th (read on for 13 ways to celebrate!), and so much more. Check this list, and you’ll find the perfect thing to do with your kids each and every day.
