• Pumpkin Power ! Head out to your favorite pumpkin patch , buy a caramel apple , and gather up those gourds ! A day spent at the patch is a fall must-do , so head on out and choose a wonderfully carvable pumpkin .
• Galavant through a corn maze this season . Always a fall favorite with the kiddos , visiting the corn maze is a seasonal tradition you don ’ t have to ditch this year .
• What kid doesn ’ t love a hay ride ? You may need to mask up for this one , particularly if it ’ s a crowded ride , but being that you ’ re still outdoors , it ’ s relatively low risk and oh-so fun !
• Host a candy scavenger hunt for your children and their little goblin friends . This is a super fun park or backyard activity . Hide some candy and give the little ones clues on where to find it !
• Take a fall foliage hike and admire the gorgeous changing leaves . Give your child a printout of colors to look for to keep them busy on the trail . Sure , it ’ s simple to find something brown , but can you spot something purple ?
While this pandemic certainly changes our traditions and routines , there are still plenty of ways to have fun with our kids this fall .

Outdoor Activities :

According to the CDC , masks are not required for outdoor activities unless you ’ ll be in a large crowd . This means all of the fun fall outdoor activities are still on the table !
