One of my favorite things is to watch my daughter learn new things. The way her little brain works to figure things out is so fascinating! I have been gathering some activities to do with her this season and wanted to share them with you! These would be great for kids of all ages really but I mainly chose them for my toddler. All of these ideas are simple and not hard to set up because we moms, do not have that kinda time! Also, I found all of these ideas on Pinterest!
Pom Pom Drop
This one is SO easy to set up and was a huge hit with my daughter! We only tried to eat the puffs like 3 times. LOL
Cheerios on Pipe Cleaners
OK, so this one didn’t quite go as planned. Granted I did this one in the morning shortly after breakfast so it turned into just eating all the cheerios. Kinda reminded me of a candy necklace because she was eating them straight off the pipe cleaners. But the ones she did put on them were good fine motor skill practice!
Color Practice
We haven’t tried this one yet but it is next up on the list because we are very into identifying colors right now! Especially yellow and green! Plus there is some fine motor skill practice with this one as well!
Sticky Leaves
I can’t wait to try this one! Such a simple set up and the leaves can be used for a ton of other activities as well! How cute right?!
Corn Shaker
Obviously, this is a noisier activity but also still fun! I think the angle I would take with this one is music related.
Potato Stamping
I have also seen this done with apples as well but totally digging the fall vibes with this one!
Pumpkin Painting
Come on, you can’t go a fall without painting some pumpkins! This year I will let her pick out her own pumpkins!
Pumpkin Hammering
This activity might be something good to do when everyone needs to let out some frustration!
Cotton Ball Tree Painting
I love that this is such a fun twist on painting! Now, I just have to find an eye dropper!
Apple Pie Craft
Look how simple this craft is! Paper plates, paint, apples, and construction paper. Boom! Honestly, my daughter’s attention span isn’t very long anyways so this would be perfect for her!
Giant Nail Salon
How adorable is this idea?! I am actually obsessed with this and can’t wait to do it once it gets cooler outside!
Color Sort
Okay, we all have an Amazon box laying around. Grab it and set up this fun activity! Hand-eye coordination and colors! Win-Win!
Pine Cone Bird Feeder
I love this idea so much! Not only can we make a craft together but we can learn about birds and what they eat as well!
Homemade Apple Play Dough
My daughter has never played with play dough so I really want to try this one this fall! I think she would have a blast!
Sponge Painting
How fun is this idea for Thanksgiving! And I would imagine it would be a bit easier than using brushes!
Let me know if you try any of these out! Projects like these are so good for our little ones but I also don’t want you to feel pressure to always have something planned. I like to sprinkle these in on Saturdays when we will be home. Enjoy, friends!
Looking for some fall activities to do with the whole family? Here are several ideas!
