Fun Fall Activities for Kids

Looking for fun activities this fall that will engage your kids and keep them busy (and away from screens)? We have some creative, cozy, and simple fall activities that your kids will love doing with you:

1. Take a morning walk with the whole family
   Bundle up in cozy sweaters and take a slow morning stroll through your neighborhood or a nearby park. Let your kids collect acorns, pinecones, or colorful leaves as treasures along the way. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy the crisp autumn air and start the day with your kids.
   
   
2. Collect colorful leaves and make leaf pictures with glue
   Encourage your kids to hunt for the most vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges they can find. Once home, glue the leaves onto paper or cardboard to make animals, faces, or even abstract art.
   
   
3. Grab your blankets and watch a spooky movie
   Make a cozy movie night extra special by building a pillow fort or spreading blankets on the floor. Choose a kid-friendly Halloween or fall-themed spooky movie (nothing too scary!) and serve warm apple cider or popcorn. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a busy day.
   
   
4. Have an autumn scavenger hunt
   Create a simple list of things to find outside, like a cat, pile of leaves, a squirrel, or insects. Head out to the yard or local park and let the kids check off each item as they find it. 
   
   
5. Bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
   Nothing says fall quite like the smell of pumpkin spice filling your kitchen. Invite your kids to measure, mix, and scoop the dough, turning baking into a fun hands-on lesson.
   
   
6. Learn how to sew with beginner-friendly sewing projects
   Fall is the perfect time to let your kids try something new or start a new hobby, so why not encourage them to try sewing? Helping your kids to start sewing doesn’t have to be tricky or overwhelming. Our kid-friendly sewing kits come with everything you need, including a step-by-step illustrated instruction book. With fun designs and links to helpful video tutorials, your children can enjoy sewing stress-free while building confidence and creativity.
   
   
7. Paint or draw on pumpkins to make cute jack-o’-lanterns
   Carving isn’t the only way to decorate pumpkins! Give your kids paint, markers, or stickers and let them transform pumpkins into cute jack-o’-lanterns.
