Family Road Trip

Hop in the car and take a fun ride around your neighborhood and visit all the houses with the best Halloween decorations! Plan a family road trip to see the beautiful fall leaves; take pit stops to walk along a nature trail and take pictures along the way to capture your family memories. Collect leaves, acorns, sticks and rocks to make fall or Halloween crafts at home.

Carve a Pumpkin

Pre-cut pumpkins and have kids decorate with glitter glue, markers, and construction paper. For little ones too small for carving, have them draw on the pumpkin with markers.

 

Make fresh Apple cider

Enjoy a mug of hot apple cider and add cinnamon sticks for spice! When you’ve finished your cider, use your leftover cinnamon sticks for this children’s craft activity. Take five cinnamon sticks and glue them at the edges, overlapping, to form a star shape. Kids can then glue mini pine cones to the edge of their star and attach a ribbon for hanging. This easy craft will make your kid’s room smell like fall!
