29 Fun Fall Activities for Kids 2020

**1. Check Out a Kid-Friendly Halloween Event

**Halloween doesn't have to be all guts and gore; plenty of attractions offer "lights on" experiences that allow toddlers and young kids to experience the haunts without the horrors. These are our favorite kid-friendly Halloween events for 2020.

2. Go to a Winery 

Yes, wineries! Fall is wine harvest season, and many wineries offer special events with food, live music, and more during this time. The events are almost always family-friendly, with many of them offering special activities for kids; think grape juice tastings and crafts. The same goes for breweries; many of them offer their own take on Oktoberfest and other fall-themed events.

**3. Paint Pumpkins

**Let your little ones design their own pumpkins with paint, glitter, and stickers, or try a pumpkin decorating kit. But first, everyone has to get their hands gooey—empty out all the pumpkin seeds to bake while you decorate!

4. Bake Some Fall Desserts

Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin roll. Homemade apple sauce. Homemade apple pie (a la mode, of course). Smells and tastes like fall! Let your little ones help (or pretend to help) whip up some tasty treats.

**5. Build a Scarecrow

**Build a scarecrow with hay and/or old newspaper for the stuffing, and for the outfit, dig up some old clothes and accessories laying around your house. You can also visit a local thrift store to dress your scarecrow.

**6. Make a Giant Leaf Pile

**Grab your rakes and get to it! Is there anything more fun than jumping into a freshly swept pile of fall leaves?!

**7. Bob for Apples

**After your trip to the apple farm, come home and bob for apples! All you need is a large tub, water, and apples. The kids will get a good laugh out of this classic game.

**8. Go to a Parade

**Grab your lawn chairs and blankets and head to your local high school's homecoming parade or a Halloween parade. Better yet, enter to participate in a parade with a group, such as your scout troop.

**9. Get Lost in a Corn Maze

**Many farms across the U.S. offer unique corn mazes for various "skill" levels, many of them changing their themes each year. These are some of our favorite corn mazes for 2020.

**10. Creep Through a Haunted House

**Have kids who love a good fright? Visit one of the 13 Best Haunted Houses and Attractions in the U.S.

**11. Tour a Truly Haunted Hotel

**… or tour (or spend the night at) one of these haunted hotels across the U.S.

**12. Read a Spooky Book

**Curl up with a spooky book—any one of Stephen King's novels will do!

**13. Make Your Own Pumpkin Spiced Lattes
