There's nothing more enjoyable than taking a long autumnal walk to appreciate the crisp, fresh air and the season's vibrant colours. You can almost smell the change in the weather as the leaves begin to turn colour.

If you head for the countryside you'll find plenty of heady scents from the hedgerow before winter really sets in.

But you don't need to leave town to experience this dramatic time of year. Most big parks will have plenty of autumn colour to enjoy, and if you take your children, they'll like nothing more than wading through piles of leaves, kicking them as they go.

So why not head for your nearest green space this weekend?

• Suggest a treasure hunt to find as many different types of leaves as possible to take home, dry out and make into a collage.
• For some serious competition, nothing beats a conker fight!
• Look out for pine cones that you can start to collect for Christmas decorations.
• Kids have got great imaginations. Help them find a really long stick and they'll soon be playing with a Star Wars Lightsaber!
• And back at home, they could even volunteer to clear up an elderly neighbour's front path of all the fallen leaves and then they'll have plenty of stuffing for Guy Fawkes!

All the rich sights, sounds and smells at this time of year will really open up your children's eyes and it's also a great opportunity to help them really understand the environment around them.

And when you get home make sure you keep your senses refreshed by plugging in the brilliant new Febreze Plug & Refresh air-freshener, which changes fragrance every 45 minutes, so you continuously notice the fresh, subtle fragrance. Not only will Febreze Plug & Refresh air-freshener remove unpleasant odours it will keep your home beautifully fresh week after week after week, just like you discovered on your glorious, autumnal walk!
