Make memories with these fall activities for kids! Pick your favorites and spend time together as a family.
Fall is a very fun time of year. It is a great time for families to enjoy beautiful weather and fun activities together. This printable activities calendar will help you find creative ways to enjoy fall all season long.

All my life, I wanted to be a mom. Mothering dolls and stuffed animals were my favorite make-believe game as a little girl. It took me until I was 30 years old to finally become a mother and about 10 minutes of being one to realize that I had no idea what I was doing.
Any parent will tell you that being a parent is the hardest job ever. It’s terrifying to think you are molding these little people’s lives.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the day-to-day routines of family life, especially during the back-to-school season. Getting back into a family routine can be hard and boring!
To help our family get back to great this fall, I created a list of fun, family-oriented fall activities to do together this fall. It gives us all something to look forward to besides getting back into the school routine.
All the activities are listed below, but you can also download a printable calendar to hang on your fridge. Let the kids help choose the activities they want to do.
