Summer is winding down. We have run out of time to complete everything on our summer bucket list. I think we did a pretty good job making our way down the list. Some things will have to be added to next summer’s list and some things can be added to our fall bucket list. The fall is quite possibly my favourite season. Fall in Ontario is beautiful, crisp and colourful. It never fails that when summer comes to an end, I welcome fall’s cooler weather. This year I am putting together an official list filled with 25 fun fall activities for kids. What would you add to the list?
make a corn husk doll
paint a pumpkin
go for a bike ride…before the snow starts to fall
make a nature family
bake pumpkin muffins, a pumpkin pie, pumpkin loaf
fly a kite
create a garland from fallen leaves
run through a corn maze
visit a pumpkin patch
take a fall hike and enjoy the colours of fall
make apple sauce, an apple pie, candy apples
