Fall Family Activities

Fall Family Activities To Do With Your Family

Today's Parent lists several fun fall favorites to do with your 
family here are a few suggestions: 

Scavenger hunt

Get your family moving and plan a nature scavenger hunt by collecting colorful leaves, pine cones, and other fall-like objects.  

Go on a Picnic

Enjoy those crisp fall days and the gorgeous colors with a picnic! Keep warm food at the ready with insulated thermoses, or try any of these kid-friendly picnic recipes.

Head to a pumpkin patch

Find the nearest pumpkin patch and spend the day enjoying outdoor activities, like hay rides, corn mazes, farmer's markets and petting zoos. The best part is, you and your bunch can pick the biggest pumpkin to take home and carve for Halloween.

Paint pinecones

This is two activities in one! Send the kids out to find the best pinecones and then decorate them anyway you'd like—with paint, sequins, glitter or beads. This is also a great opportunity to make the perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Go camping

While the weather is still warm, pack the kids up, along with your gear, and go to a popular campground, or keep it easy and pitch a tent in the backyard. Enjoy fun camping games, crafts and stargazing to keep the little ones entertained.

Make candy apples

These candy-corn apples are perfect for October 30th, which is National Candy Corn Day.
