101 Fall Activities for Kids

Ah, fall is in the air and October is upon us! This is definitely my most favorite season of all. I am constantly amazed by the colors of the trees, and I just love drinking apple cider, eating pumpkin butter on my toast, and putting warm colored mums all over my front porch. Like L.M. Montgomery said, I really am SO glad that I get to live in a world with Octobers!

Since the fall season is here, and since our family loves celebrating any sort of holiday or season, I decided this year that I didn’t want to miss out on doing any fun fall activities. So, I created a fall bucket list of all the fun and exciting things I want to do with my little one and decided to share it with you, as a printable!

I’ve put together a collection of my favorite fall activities for preschoolers and kids, so with that being said, let’s get right to it!
