Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on fall bucket list ideas to do with your kids. Fall is my favorite time of year. The air is crisp, the foliage is beautiful and it’s the perfect time for a fire to roast hotdogs, make smores, and sip apple cider. So, it’s a good time to check off a few of your fall bucket list ideas. I return to my list year after year. Some items remain, some are removed and at times new ideas added. I’ll share a few of my ideas with you.
Fall Bucket List Ideas
Haunted Hay Ride – First, fall would not be complete without a hay ride. It’s one of my favorite things to do with my grandchildren. So, a haunted hayride has become epic. Especially, if you love scary and spooky. Check your local area to see what’s available.
Corn Maze – Finding your way out of a corn maze can be challenging. Take the family and get competitive. Girls versus the boys or mom and boys versus dad and girls.
Hot Dog Roast – Next, have a hot dog roast around the fire pit. Roasted hotdogs are super delicious, and washing them down with fresh apple cider is the icing on the cake.
Bake Apple Crisp – Apples are plentiful in the fall. Visit your local farmer’s market and grab a bag of apples. You can spend the day making delicious dishes with the kids.
Bob for Apples – So, have you ever filled a tub and bobbed for apples? This can be a great family activity on a sunny day. Give out homemade treats after the activity and warm up everyone’s belly with warm apple cider.
Nature Hunt – Also, print our Nature Hunt printable and send the kids on a journey. You can take a walk around the neighborhood, hunt in your backyard or take a drive.

Take Fall Photos – Purchase a camera for your kids go in search of fall foliage, pumpkin displays, or take pictures at a local festival. The possibilities are endless.
Make Smores – Plan a day to make smores around the firepit. Who doesn’t love smores!
Schedule a Family Portrait – Schedule a family portrait at a local barn or the park. Fall provides a beautiful opportunity for a family photo. Have everyone wear jeans or a cowboy hat for the picture.
Gather Leaves – Leaves can used for crafts, pressed and used in photo displays and more. I love gathering leaves in different shapes and colors. Nature gives us many leaves to choose from. As a result, think about how you will use them and choose accordingly.
Attend an Apple Butter Festival – Additionally, if your kids love apple butter, find an apple butter festival. You can turn it into a learning experience for the kids. They can watch the apple butter being made. Most have plenty of crafts and great food too.
Build a Firepit – Last, if you don’t have a firepit, build one. Lowes has everything you need to finish your product.
I hope that you found one or two of my ideas interesting, and you will add them to your fall bucket list ideas.
