Go Apple Picking
Fall brings in the season of fresh, crisp apples! Check out your local apple picking center and plan a trip to go pick some fresh apples. Take part in a wagon ride as most apple picking locations have a wagon ride on hand to bring you out to the orchards. Once you are done picking apples, you can come home to prepare some yummy apple recipe desserts and snacks with the kids!
Leaf Jumping
This is a perfect way to have the kids clean up the yard while having fun. Get out there with the rakes and kids and rake the lawn up into a pile of huge leaves. Be sure to remove all sticks and other debris from the pile. Once your leaf pile is safe of debris and other pointy items, you may put the rakes aside and run to jump in those leaves. This is sure to make for some laughter and happiness with the kids this Fall.
Birthday Party
Many kids have a Fall birthday, it seems to be one of the most popular seasons for birthdays. If you have a kid that celebrates a Fall birthday, then plan a barnyard bash. This crisp, cool season of Fall gives many opportunities to have a blast hosting a barnyard themed party for your kids. Don't have a kid with a Fall birthday? Well just throw a party to have some fun with friends and family!
Visit a Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkin patches are great places to create lasting family memories and a place to reconnect. Not only do you get to pick the perfect pumpkin for halloween, but there are usually quite a few things for the entire family to do as well. From hay rides, corn mazes, treats and games, you can start a fall tradition by visiting pumpkin patches with your kids.
Make a Giving Thanks Tree
This is perfect to prepare for Thanksgiving time, where you remind each other what you are thankful for. An easy to make craft idea that the whole family can get involved in is making a giving thanks tree. There are many ways to make a giving thanks tree; some use your basic construction paper type supplies while others make a model tree. Have fun with this on a cold Fall day with kids.
Create an Inside Campground
Shut off all of your electronics and detach from the world of technology to set up an inside campground with the kids. Fall brings on a bit of cold weather to be camping outside overnight, so turn your living room into a campground. Setup an actual tent and be prepared to have no electricity on and have fun with the kids while you all have in inside camp slumber party.
Having fun in the Fall involves both indoor and outdoor activities with the kids. There are many ways to create long lasting memories with your kids this Fall season. We hope that you will work to complete those must do Fall activities with kids so that you have a blast together this Fall.
Let's discuss: What fall activities do you have planned this fall with your kids?
Leaf jumping - my favorite fall activity :)
ReplyDeleteLeaf jumping sure is a lot of fun isn't it? Love it myself.
DeleteFall is my favorite time of year. There's so much to do with the kiddos.
ReplyDeleteOh we just love Fall here as well. I prefer the cooler weather and my allergies aren't as bad.
DeleteThese are all great ideas. We love to get out with the kids and enjoy the beauty of fall. There's nothing like getting out and experiencing the crisp weather and changing leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true, the weather is a lot nicer and I also love to see the leaves change colors.
DeleteFall is one of my favorite seasons. My kids love going to the pumpkin patch every year to pick out their pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteWe do that every year as well, and can't wait for this year to find the perfect pumpkin.
DeleteI love the Giving Thanks tree idea!
ReplyDeleteWe have a jumping pillow here and if you can find one, I'd recommend it. We already went over the weekend and I told Cassidy I was so happy we already did - before the crowds - because it always tops my fall bucket list.
A jumping pillow? Oh you've got to tell me more. I've actually never heard of that and will have to check that out.
DeleteI love your list! I think I need to do each one of them! I love sleeping outdoors in crisp air!
ReplyDeleteBeing outdoors is awesome and this fall there is so much to do and I'll be trying them all out myself here too.
DeletePumpkin patches are a must for our family.
ReplyDeleteIt's also a must for mine. Seems like we have that in common.
DeleteWe most certainly will be checking a couple of these things off: pumpkin patch and carving them are top on our fall to-do list!
ReplyDeleteOh that's awesome! We don't carve them but we do decorate them still the "non-carving" way.
DeleteLeaf jumping and visiting the pumpkin patches is probably our favorite thing to do in the fall
ReplyDeleteThe kids love jumping in the leaves but hate raking them. We'll see how this year goes.
DeleteFall is my absolute favorite time of year. I can't wait for pumpkin picking and corn mazes! Not to mention hot cider and spice donuts!
ReplyDeleteOh those are all my favorites too. I can't wait for that hot cider.
DeleteWe will be checking some off of your list for this fall! I love fall and so its the perfect time for some family outings!
ReplyDeleteFall I think is my favorite season of them all. While I love the cool weather of Spring, my allergies hates it.
DeleteI like the leaf jumping idea I miss that about living up north. Here in FL we get mainly pine straw. I am hoping to get to a pumpkin patch this year and maybe even a corn maze.
ReplyDeleteI've never experienced Fall in Florida but I do know I would love to be there in the Winter. :)
DeleteWe go to my aunts pumpkin farm each year. It's tradition. We'll also go apple picking and to the local corn mazes!
ReplyDeleteOh that's awesome. We visit different pumpkin patches each year, not so sure which one I'll be going to this year but can't wait.
DeleteI love all these ideas! We love outdoor activities during fall! Will try all these!
ReplyDeleteOh you and me both. I love the activities in the fall because the weather is just right.
DeleteWe don't get a whole lot of weather where we live, so we have to work in family activities to signify one season or another. Love all of your family friendly ideas for fall.
ReplyDeleteThat must be fun as well. I can just imagine everything that you do. How do you do something to signify winter?
DeleteWe are so looking forward to all of these things. I just love changing of the seasons!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the changing seasons myself but if I can live with Fall weather everyday, I'd be the happiest person ever.
DeleteWe love fall! I love all the activities ideas and going to try them!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Teresa, have fun!
DeleteI love these ideas! One of the things on my to-do list is to come up with a list of fun things to do with my kids. Thanks for giving me some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're very welcome. Thanks for stopping by today.
DeleteI love this list of ideas!!! I love the cooler fall weather and seeing all the leaves change color!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I just love about the Fall season.
DeleteI can't believe I've never done leaf jumping with my kids! I used to do that every year with my brother! I'm definitely adding this to our Fall Bucket List this year! Oh man I love fall and everything that comes with it!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love leaf jumping as well, that would be a lot of fun to do with your kids for sure.
DeleteThese are fantastic fall activities to do with the kids. I love to rake a big pile of leaves and watch the kids run and jump in them.
ReplyDeleteWho would love that? I know my kids do but hate the raking part.
DeleteI love the Fall season and all your fall activities! I wish we had apple picking near our house, but my family loves visiting the pumpkin patches!
ReplyDeletePumpkin patches are a lot of fun. We have visited two different one so far and this year we have plans to visit another.
DeleteThis is a great list of activities. I bet the kids really love all of these ideas. I love the fall! My favorite season!
ReplyDeleteThe fall is my absolute favorite season myself. The kids just love being out when it's cooler.
DeleteThese are fun and exciting ideas! Apple Picking and Leaf Jumping are great activities for my kids.
ReplyDeleteWe need to find a few other things to do this year. Will have to see what else is there to do.
DeleteSuch fun ideas! It's been a long time since I went apple picking- need to find somewhere to do that.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally find somewhere this year. Bring back fun memories from your childhood.
DeleteI miss leaf jumping. Dont quite get those huge leafs that are great for so many purposes.
ReplyDeleteWell little leaves works just as well too.
DeleteGreat ideas as the weather starts to get cooler. We also go apple picking and to the pumpkin patch. Think I'll try the indoor camping with the kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the kids would enjoy it and so would you. You'll get to spend some quality bonding time together.
DeleteI look forward to visiting the pumpkin patch with my kids all year long! Nothing beats those adorable photo opps! Plus, ours has hayrides!
ReplyDeleteThe ones I've gone to has hayrides as well. They sure do make photo opps.
DeleteWe're new to Cub Scouts, so we'll be camping and exploring this Fall. Our son is super excited about it.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds exciting. I've never camped out before and would love to one day.
DeleteThese are super fun ideas for the kids. Apple picking and visiting pumpkin patches are two of our favorite fall activities.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of our favorite too, especially the pumpkin patch.
DeleteI love fall, the smells, the colors, the weather, the food, everything about it is simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is wonderful. I swear it's one of my favorite season.
DeleteI don't have kids, but I still enjoy these things - leaf jumping! I also like going to corn mazes, watching scary movies (more than I usually do), sitting outside near the firepit, and just anything that has to do with fall!
ReplyDeleteAnd we're never too old to be a kid at heart. I will still love these things even after my kids are grown and gone.
DeletePumpkin patches are an absolute must in the fall. I wish we lived up north to really experience fall foliage. Love your pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that one. Pumpkin patches are a must and thank you for the compliment.
DeleteI love all these ideas! One year for Thanksgiving, I let the kids bring leaves in and cover my dining room floor. They were loving everyminute
ReplyDeleteAwww I can see my own kids doing this but I can only imagine the clean up afterwards.
DeleteIm going to be honest I am not the biggest fall fan because I dont like cold transition. I said I wanted to do apple picking!
ReplyDeleteApple picking can be a lot of fun. I actually prefer the cooler weather of fall, just not a fan of winter.
DeleteLeaf jumping was always a huge must at my house. We also always built a scarecrow out of my dad's old clothes and the leftover leaves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I might have to try building a scarecrow myself too. Sounds like a fantastic idea.
DeleteI love love love FALL! My favorite time of the year! We already do most of these things each time the season rolls around but I love the list! It will help us make sure none of these great activities fall through the cracks.
ReplyDeleteI love fall myself as well. It's also my favorite season and I try and do them all here as well.
DeleteApple picking is one of my favorite things to do with the family. I love the fall because it means I can take our my leggings and boots and other fall wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteOh I've already been wearing my boots, I just love fall myself because of it.
DeleteLeaf jumping and pumpkin patches are the best! It's easy to forget to go outside as it gets cooler outside, but it's so fun to take advantage of how gorgeous fall is!
ReplyDeleteIt is rather fun and I just love the fall and how much cooler it is.
DeleteFall is definitely one of out favorite times of the year. So many different things to get out and see and do with the kids to experience nature.
ReplyDeleteOh that's what I love about fall. So much to see and do for sure.
DeleteMy kids love to get out and play in the leaves that we have raked in the yard. So many fun things!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have enough leaves as yet but that's also one of the things that my kids, especially my youngest, loves to do as well.
