Fall Fun With Kids!
As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to embrace the season with your little ones! Here are some fun fall activities to enjoy together and promote growth!
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of fall treasures—colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones—and head to a local park! This activity promotes tactile and visual integration, visual motor, fine motor, and visual scanning skills.

3. Apple Picking
Visit a nearby orchard for a day of apple picking! So many sensory experiences and inputs as well as the yummy taste of apples!
4. Fall Baking
Whip up some seasonal treats like pumpkin muffins or cinnamon apple bread together in the kitchen. Baking and cooking are great to promote growth in many areas for kids! This includes fine motor skills, executive functioning, sequencing, proprioceptive, tactile (touch), and olfactory (smell) inputs to name a few!
Helping in the kitchen is always a great way to build skills and promote sensory inputs.
5. Leaf Art
Collect fallen leaves and use them for art projects—think leaf rubbings or collages. This also promotes tactile, visual, and proprioceptive inputs while also encouraging those fine motor and visual motor skills.
Find leaves of all colors for more fall fun!
6. Halloween Crafts
Get spooky with some DIY Halloween decorations. Think ghosts, bats, and fun costumes!
