Even though night temperatures may be freezing, Fall is still a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with your family! Below are five fun, virtually free, very family-friendly activities to celebrate the unique opportunities of the season.
1. Build Your Own Skeleton: You don't need to be a farmer to scare those birds away.......find some old jeans and a shirt and stuff full of hay or leaves. Draw a face on a ball or use the trick-or-treat pumpkin still tucked away in the closet....top it off with a hat and have a family photo shoot to remember the fun!
2. Go for a Leaf Hunt: Try to find all the colors of the rainbow, see who can find 10 different leaves first or simply enjoy the hike! Bring your leaves home and have fun crafting with leaf rubbings, or ironing your leaves between sheets of wax paper.
3. Find an Apple Tree: From your neighbors yard, to an actual orchard, apples are at the peak of their season. Not only is picking apples fun, but try making some homemade apple sauce or drying apples in your oven for simple, healthy snacks! You could also keep on crafting with some apple printing.
4. Fill a barrel with water and apples (careful with younger kids around the water) and have your own bobbing for apples contest.
5. Rake up big piles of leaves and JUMP in them. Adults, too! Not only is it great exercise, but a ton of family fun!
