Fun Fall Activities To Do With Kids

Enjoy the fall season inside and out with these fun family activities geared perfectly around the autumn season and kids...

Make a seasonal list.
As the summer draws to a close, help build anticipation of the coming season by making a list of things to do during the fall. Have each family member contribute an idea to the list and put it in plain sight. It can help build excitement for family plans, as well as help ease out of summer mode and shift into fall.

Visit an apple orchard.
Beautiful apple orchards exist all around the United States and many of them allow seasonal apple picking to the local community. Some apple farms offer hayrides and various fall-like events.

If not an apple orchard, many other kinds of local farms offer similar fall activities from pumpkin picking to corn mazes.

Make homemade fall treats.
Dust off your grandmother’s cookbook or check out Pinterest to find autumn-inspired treats, like pumpkin honey muffins, spiced apple oatmeal cookies or apple pie bars. Making homemade fall desserts is a great way to make a house smell amazing and spend some time doing something as a family.

Take nature pictures.
Finding fields of sunflowers, fall wildflowers or color-changing trees can be an adventure that everyone in the family can marvel at. Fall is one of the best seasons to explore nature and get incredible photography of changing trees and landscapes.

Share the goods.
Baking an apple or pumpkin pie with kids and sharing it with an elderly neighbor is a great way to teach to kids the importance of showing kindness to others.

Make apple cider.
There are many types of fall apple cider drinks that can be warm and delicious for both adults and kids. Did you know you can heat apple cider or apple juice and mix it with red hot candy? There are tons of ways to get creative and make the best cider of the season.

Check out a fall festival.
Many local communities hold fall festivals and events. With family activities such as arts and crafts, food and drinks, music, rides and other fun festivities, it’s a great way to get the whole family geared up for the fall season.

Have a backyard fall fest.
Invite friends, family and neighborhood friends to get together for an outdoor fall party. Decorate with fall crafts and make those fall treats. A backyard event is a great way to start the fall season.

Carve pumpkins.
Although many save carving pumpkins for Halloween, it’s never too early to get a head start on the fall season by carving pumpkins. It’s family fun for everyone and a perfect decoration for the whole season.
