10 Fun Fall Toddler Activities!

Here are a few activities that I've thought of recently that I want to do with my girls (and Jack too) this fall... let me know if you try any of them and how they work for you! :0)

1. Pick apples at a local apple orchard and make applesauce together! (We go to a place with free tractor rides and home-made donuts too- that's a bonus!)

2. Collect acorns and play with them! It's simple, but kids love it! We might attempt to make these!

3. Find a monarch caterpillar and watch it hatch into a butterfly! We've already looked and haven't found one yet, but I'm hoping to!

4. Go on a nature walk to find brightly colored leaves that have fallen off the trees!

5. Make leaf rubbing pictures with those leaves we collected!

6. Find a pumpkin patch to explore and let them choose their own to bring home!

7. Carve them, of coarse! But more fun than that... let them play in the pumpkin guts!

8. Bake the pumpkin seeds and eat them! yum yum!

9. Let the girls help me "cook" this new fun recipe I found...

NO BAKE PUMPKIN PIE

Small custard-sized ready to eat--pie crusts 
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin 
1 tablespoon marshmallow creme 
1 tablespoon prepared whipped topping 
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and pour into the crust. 
The recipe is then ready to eat; it may be refrigerated or frozen.

10. Visit our local apple orchard that has a fun corn maze and let them get lost find their way out (with help of coarse!) 

Let the fun fall time activities begin! :0)
