Make the most of out the glorious season that is Autumn with our fab low-cost or no cost Autumn Activities for kids and families. Do you love Autumn? We are lucky in the UK to have four distinct seasons and I adore how different each one is. Autumn really is a season of wonder and change with beautiful crisp leaves and fabulous sunsets.

I love it when the activities are low-cost and no-cost and we have something seasonal for all the family with our fab graphic for our 50 Autumn Activities for Kids there is fall fun for all the family.

Each season I update our bored jar with new activities for the new season. So I never hear the words I’m Bored from either of the boys. I also fill our bored jar with a selection of chores too!

I love getting outdoors and making the most of the season and the fall leaves make for so much fun, not just to look at or even jump in (Jumping in a pile of leaves is not just for toddlers or preschoolers let me tell you). There really is so much treasure to find on scavenger hunts such as acorns, pine cones and autumn leaves (you can collect the best leaves for leaf rubbings or better still take some paper and crayons on your walk and do the rubbings on your adventure).

This big list of fall things to do with kids of all ages is packed with fun fall activities the entire family will love.

The kids went off yesterday to collect leaves and acorns for a harvest cross for the harvest festival this morning. I made the apple and cinnamon pie for Sunday pud last week.

I love autumn and most of what it brings (Halloween, beautiful colours, leaves and more) and this list is just great – reminds me of why it’s my favourite season! Great suggestions.
