Fall Bucket List With Toddlers

Fall Bucket List With Toddlers

Fall time is my favorite time of the year! It’s the start of the holidays, beautiful weather, and tons of fun festivities! This year feels extra special for me being able to celebrate with my girls. Last year I had just had Scout and Davey and we were adjusting to our new life all together. We didn’t get out too much, so this year I have really been looking forward to having some fun together!

Play In The Autumn Leaves

I have always loved how beautiful it is when the leaves fall. Growing up in Arizona I didn’t see much changing of the fall leaves, but did see some towards the end of the year. Now living in Utah, we get a lot of Fall leaves! Schedule a day to make a leaf pile and play in it! This is easy and fun! Plus its a great sensory activity for your babe!

Dinner In A Pumpkin

I have always wanted to do this and never have! Growing up my friend Aimee’s mom would do a dinner in a pumpkin every Halloween night. I thought it was the coolest ever and have wanted to start this tradition for my family! My friend Scarlet is an amazing cook and posted this dinner in a pumpkin recipe I want to try! Another idea is a Halloween themed dinner! Mummy hot dogs, etc.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Anyone else love all things pumpkin this time of year?!?! I have a gluten free pumpkin pancake recipe I love and can’t wait to bust it out! I’ll link it here. Its super yummy! I also found this pumpkin shaped waffle iron (only $9.99) I want to make them in!

Visit A Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin patches are always a great time!

Go On A Hay Ride

A lot of pumpkin patches have hay rides and other kids of activities that are super fun. Last year my girls were too small to enjoy a hay ride, so I knew that is one thing I really wanted to do with them this year!

Decorate The House

Add some paper bats, and spider webs! A few pumpkins and maybe even a skeleton! One thing I love is decorations don’t need to be expensive, but having just a few around can really make it fun! I like using my Cricut machine and making a lot of decor.

Growing up my mom went all out decorating for every holiday! I LOVED IT! My sisters did too! We would be so excited to use holiday dishes and all things festive! I have been looking forward to decorating for the holidays and can’t wait till my girls get a little older and we can decorate together!

Dress Up In Festive Clothing

Halloween costumes, matching pjs, I love it all!!! Any of these would be so fun to do! Put on our festive clothes and make a dance party of it! Lots of fun options with dressing up.

Decorate Pumpkins

My girls just turned one, so I wanted to do something fun with pumpkins that they could do! I got some puffy stickers and thought we could put stickers on pumpkins. As they get older in years to come I think it would be fun to paint pumpkins and someday carve one together too!

Make A Festive Themed Fort

Anyone else love making forts?! If you have been following along our family journey, you may know already Jake and I are huge fort fans! Every Halloween and Christmas we love to make a fort and watch movies in it! With little kids it’s even more magical! Our last fort we strung lights in it and our girls thought it was the coolest thing ever! Make a festive themed fort and have fun watching some movies!

Handprint Art

Working on some art is always a good time with kids! And messy of course 🙂 Grab some crayons and make hand art. Turkey hands, pumpkin hands, lots of options! Printing out festive coloring pages could be fun too! I found some fun free Fall coloring pages here.
