Smack in the middle of summer and winter is the sweet spot for all seasons: fall. This ‘cooling-off’ period’s most noteworthy signs include shorter days, longer nights, and the seemingly stunting of vegetation growth where leaves turn to a distinct auburn to faded yellow.
This season carries with it a certain charm captivating families and children for an anticipatory (and joyous!) celebration ahead.
Fall happens from September to November. It’s a season that is anticipating two celebrations: Thanksgiving and Halloween. And while some states are contemplating on re-opening schools this fall, kids may be better off taking alternative learning mediums to cope with school requirements.
Nonetheless, there are fun activities that you and your kids will surely enjoy even in the comforts of your own home. You and your family may also consider a ‘fall bucket list’ to get the children to make the most of this season.
By age 5 or 6, some children may start going to kindergarten. At age 5, children can speak more clearly, involving more simple sentences. They can count up to 10 or more and will be able to illustrate about six body parts or more. At school, they will be more adept at writing letters, numbers and can create triangles and other geometric illustrations.
On the physical aspect, they are likely to be more active with more pronounced gross motor skills such as hopping, skipping, climbing, swinging, and doing somersaults.
By ages 6 to 8, children are more independent and are likely starting grade school. It’s also a time where they are likely to be more social with their peers and classmates. It’s a time where they are also taking on more school work and learn to value teamwork.
At age 9 to 11, your kids are well on their way to puberty. During this time, kids give more importance to developing healthy friendships with a strong pull towards peer pressure. It is also a time where they feel a growing sense of responsibility and set goals for what they want to achieve.
Play is crucial to this stage of the child’s development. As studies have already shown, the number of childhood obesity and hypertension is evident because of the lack of physical activities and improper diet. While gadgets may be to blame, parents or caregivers can actively play a role to encourage kids to participate in outdoor activities through play, exploration, or other creative means such as camps or getting them involved in sports.
Consider developing their physical skills during this stage. As kids grow older, their bodies are also expanding and allowing for wider range-of-motion movements. Any activities involving walking, running, climbing, or skipping are good outlets to help them attain balance.
Adults can accompany small children in taking short trips in the park or nature walks to help them explore and gain new friends along the way. Older kids would benefit greatly from collaborative and competitive play to help develop their critical thinking. Moreover, the outdoor play exposes them to the sun, a good source of Vitamin D to help build their bones and strengthen their immune system.
Creative play involves activities like baking, craft-making, and even sports. Executive functions such as negotiating, prioritizing, planning, and multi-tasking are all developed during this type of play. Parents can get involved with this type of play by allowing unstructured time for kids to go about with the activity. This imaginative play could help boost their social skills as they seek to play with other kids.
However, they may also be forced to play alone and forcibly think of ways to entertain and amuse themselves. Parents play an important role in guiding kids on how to go about with the process but also giving them space to decide independently.
Kids consider parents as immediate role models. This involvement creates a deep impact on their social and emotional development, especially with their academic performance. Parent-child interactions that come with play or meaningful activities such as baking or craft-making leave a lifelong impression on the child’s emotional and social development while enhancing their listening and talking skills.
Lastly, parent involvement helps kids with their self-esteem. With the current pandemic, children can derive confidence from their parents who serve as their teachers through alternative learning means. Parents involved in their child’s education and other interests enhance their ability to regulate emotions with lesser feelings of negativity. It’s also a way to help children navigate through life with lessons beyond the four corners of a classroom.
So take the opportunity to let your children have fun while learning. Spend time together and make lasting memories before winter arrives!
1. Visit the apple orchard
Whether it’s for a class trip or just to spend quality time with the kids in ‘unfamiliar’ territories, apple orchard offers a venue to spark farming interest, growing, and learn anything and everything about apples!
The auburn to light brown foliage should be a magnificent view to take in. There is still a good chance that the apple harvest is still in full swing before winter comes along. Make sure to wear your most comfortable clothing as you rummage through bushels and walking through leaves and trees to find the best apples in the orchard.
TheDailyMeal.com offers up a list of the Best Apple Orchards in America! Check out their “apple pickins'” and make a day trip to one of these exciting destinations!
2. Bake an apple pie
The exciting part of picking apples from the orchard is what to make out of those fruits. And, what can you do with the “not-so-good” ones? A warm apple pie provides a great solution! Watch this video on YouTube from AllRecipes.com on How To Make Easy Apple Pie!
You can have the kids help in creating this tasty treat. Kids can help in the preparation, mixing, and cooking. Make this a fun experience for them to learn basic baking skills and in creating a farm-to-table experience, unlike any other!
3. Host a fall tea party
Young girls love a good tea party, especially if they have an outdoor playhouse; they can hang out. And what better way to celebrate a good company with some tea and cookies!
Apple cider is a fall favorite. Aside from its nutritious content, apple cider is a versatile addition to foods and, yes, tea. For kids, you can ask them to help you prepare the treats by letting them decorate and mix the ingredients for the cookies. Allow them free reign in planning their tea party as you guide them from setting up to hosting their mini-celebration with their friends.
Rachel’s Nest posted a video on having a successful Fall Tea Party for your daughters, nieces and their friends!
4. Make a DIY scarecrow
This is true if you live with a spacious garden or huge farmland filled with crops. As scarecrows are closely related to harvest season, building one during fall is a great way to protect ripening crops from pesky birds.
You can find several do-it-yourself scarecrows online for you and your kids to work on over a weekend, such as this one by KraftsByKatelyn. It will only require a few materials such as scissors, straw, glue, strings, old newspapers, and worn-out clothes that might be lying in your closet. Your creativity is your limit!
5. Craft a DIY organizer
Craft-making is a fun activity to help kids do something on the creative side. Opt for practical but enjoyable pieces such as ruler organizers like the one shown here by Jacquelynne Steves. These are easy DIYs you can help your kids create to serve as reminder boards or just a complementary piece to hang their favorite photos or work of arts.
Using old wooden rulers, clothespin, non-toxic paint, and some wood glue, this DIY craft can be done with a few minutes to an hour. They can get creative and add some buttons, small toys, or other ornaments that might catch their fancy.

Fall is perfect for getting ready for the much anticipated Halloween. You’re probably searching for costumes and decorations as well. There are fun and unique ways to prepare your treats without burning a hole in your wallet.

Another eco-friendly way to prepare for Halloween is to prepare for decorations with whatever is abundant this season: dried leaves. It’s everywhere, and it’s just beyond your doorsteps too!

8. Fun pumpkin stamps
Sending out invites to guests for Halloween? There’s no need for costly greeting cards. This fun and easy to do pumpkin stamps are just the right material!

If you have excess cards, you can also use these as décors attached to the wall or string them like buntings. This is a cost-efficient way to save on décors just before for Halloween!
9. Rake dried leaves
While this may seem like a “chore,” raking leaves during fall gives you and your family something old—and something new. You can do a lot with dried leaves. Instead of using paper, create a fun activity where you and the family can create leaf crafts together. Kids can doodle on leaves using metallic sharpies or draw leaf mandalas and use these to hang on their walls. Or create unique leaf art on smooth rocks using a Mod Podge that they can use as decoration or paperweight. After craftwork, they can dive in and enjoy the autumn vibes!
10. Read autumn-themed books
It’s a great season to be inspired. Before going to bed, you can make this a habit to read with your kids and discover interesting stories about autumn and valuable lessons you and your kids can glean from these books.

These colorful pieces can be used as decorations in anticipation of the fall season. These would also make nice DIY cards they could send to friends if your little girls want to invite friends for some tea and cookies!
14. Go pumpkin picking
Just like apple picking, visiting a pumpkin field is also a favorite activity for this season. And as many adults know it, pumpkin is everywhere, from decorations to food choices. With some creativity, you and your kids can create a fun activity to carve out pumpkin heads in anticipation of Halloween. With excess pumpkins, the kitchen is your next location.
