Looking for the best fall activities for kids?

Keeping the kids entertained during the fall can be tough, especially the little ones. Sometimes it’s too cold to go out and kids can start to go stir-crazy. Which is why I’ve compiled this list of things you can do with the kids to keep them busy and entertained.

Fall Activities for Kids Cheap Easy

1. Apple Picking (Indoors or Outdoors)

2. Bake Apple Chips

Once you pick those apples (the real ones), bake them up! For one thing, a project like this can keep the kids busy (supervised by Mom of course). For another thing, it’s a great way to create a healthy snack the whole family can enjoy. Ria’s Collection shows you how it’s done.

3. Paper Bag Scarecrow

    These were some really cool ideas. I especially liked the Apple picking concept and the fact that it is an indoor/outdoors project. Thank you for sharing!
