29 Fall Activities for Kids

Fall activities for kids and families! These 29 fun fall activities are either really cheap or completely free, which means they are the perfect fall activity to try today!

I love fall, but when it’s still so hot outside, I’m finding it difficult to get into the autumn mood.

However, my beautiful child doesn’t care that it’s hot outside… he wants to be out there all the time!! So I’m trying to get myself in the mood with some fall activities for kids so I can enjoy the season with him, even when it’s hot! Plus, most of them are completely free!

If you’re lucky enough to be somewhere like Kentucky, Oregon, or California, this may not be an issue for you, but here in the good ol’ Lone Star State, it’s still blazing hot when “fall” rolls around!

So that got me to thinking, how could we start enjoying fall now? I came up with a list of 29 things that you could do to enjoy fall, even when it’s hot outside.
