Fun Fall Activities




Fall is one of our families' favorite seasons, so we aim to get in as many fun activities as we can. Here are some ideas of things we have done:

*Have an End of Summer cookout and invite the neighbors

*Rake leaves and jump in them

*Go to a football or soccer game

*Go for a hay ride

*Make a homemade bird feeder and place it outside your window

*Go to an apple farm and pick apples, then make a homemade apple pie or applesauce

*Explore the neighborhood and take pictures of Autumn scenes

*Go to a pumpkin patch and pick out some pumpkins to decorate your yard

*Make a scarecrow out of leaves or straw and old clothes

*Talk about what an election is, and why it is important to vote

*Gather and donate outgrown winter clothes to a local charity

*Read some Fall related books together, enjoying some hot apple cider

*Collect fall leaves and iron them between waxed paper to preserve them

*Make a list of things you are thankful for

*Rake an elderly neighbor's yard for them

*Light a MacIntosh Apple or Pumpkin Pie candle and enjoy the aroma

*Go to a nearby nursery and pick out some bright colored mums to plant in your yard
