Here are some fun fantastic fall activities to do. There are so many activities like painting acorns, making smores, and more! I hope you have tons of fun with these fall activities.
Make Fall Themed Slime
A fun activity to do inside or outside is making fall themed slime. This activity is especially great for National Slime Day on December 9th. One thing to make your slime fall themed is putting in sequins, confetti, charms, and glitter. You can also make slime fall colors like red, orange, and yellow. Here is a link to instructions on how to make a fall themed slime and pumpkin slime:
2. Paint Acorns
Painting acorns is a fantastic activity to do if you like painting and you can paint them however you want. For example, you can paint a picture of something on it, paint a design, or paint it one solid color. Painted acorns are also a pretty inside and outside decoration for your home. You need acorns, acrylic paint, paint brushes, and a paint palette. This is a link to instructions on how to paint acorns:
3. Have a Bonfire and Make S’mores
A fun activity for your whole family is to have a bonfire and make s’mores. Bonfires are perfect for a night when it's 40-90° F, windspeed less than 15mph, and not raining or snowing. S’mores are delicious, fun, and easy to make treats. In order to make them you need marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate, and a stick. You can buy special sticks with handles meant for s’mores or find a long stick in your backyard. These are instructions on how to make s’mores and a website with information about National S’mores Day:

Toilet paper roll crafts are a fun and easy craft to do. Two popular toilet paper roll crafts are a turkey and pumpkin. The 3D toilet paper roll pumpkin is a great decoration for inside your home especially around Halloween and all you need to make it is a toilet paper roll, scissors, glue stick, tape, pencils, orange, green, and brown construction paper.

1. Make ornaments
There are many ways to make ornaments for this year's Christmas. One idea could be salt dough ornaments. All you need is flour, water, and salt. This is an easy and crafty alternative for buying ornaments.
2. Go ice skating
Ice skating is a common activity people do during winter. It is a fun experience and I look up to going to my nearby ice rank every winter.
3. Build gingerbread houses
Although keeping a gingerbread house together can be hard, it is still a fun and decorative activity to do. You can find a gingerbread house at the store but if you cannot find one, you can always make one from scratch.
4. See the Nutcracker ballet
Seeing the nutcracker is my favorite thing to do during Christmas time. I really recommend going. It is nice to see the ballet dancers perform and to enjoy the music.
5. Host a Christmas Dinner
Having a delicious dinner is a good way to get together with family and see your friends. Also making and preparing the food is a fun part when having dinner for Christmas.
6. Have a Christmas Themed Sleepover
A Christmas sleepover is especially fun when you wear matching pajamas and get a lot of holiday snacks. You can also plan out a good movie to watch.
7. Plan a Secret Santa with Your Friends
In your friend group, pick a raffle of names and give out a gift to the person you got without telling them that it was you.
