5 Great Fall Traditions To Try Out With Your Family

/ Blog, Homemaking Season, Homeschool Season / By Lyudmila

Do you have Fall traditions that you do with the family?

The mornings are becoming cooler and the leaves are changing color. It’s time to pull out those cozy sweaters, light a fall scented candle, and get the Fall decor out.

However, those are probably things most moms want to do on their own and that is perfectly fine.

Let’s leave that to mom and try out these 5 Fall Traditions with your family.

5 Fall Traditions

1. Fall Festivals are a great way to get into the Fall Season. You can find these online in your local area of where you live and go out with the whole family.

2. Go apple picking with your family. Find an apple orchard with a variety of apples and spend some time looking at the different varieties of apples and finding the ones that your family likes the best.

Some apple orchards offer corn mazes and hayrides. Don’t forget to pick up some pumpkins and have fun carving them, coloring them, or putting stickers on them (we don’t celebrate Halloween but the kids still like coloring on the pumpkins).

Apple picking has been one of my family’s favorite Fall traditions. Since my girls were old enough to remember we have gone apple picking. They would enjoy the fun activities that were set up for the kids at the apple orchard. Some of my girls are teens and young adults now and still enjoy apple picking and look forward to it.

3. Go on a hike and look at the changing colors of the leaves on the trees. Pick some leaves and twigs and make leaf animals out of them.

4. Rake leaves together. Make it into a race of who gets the biggest pile of leaves and then jump into them.

5. Bake some Fall treats with those apples that you picked and enjoy a family movie night.

One Fall treat that you can make is to buy some dipping Caramel from the store and cut up some apples and enjoy them with your movie.

I have made a list of some of my favorite movies that my family enjoys. I have 6 children that range from 2 all the way to 20 years old.

Fall Family Movies:

Enola Holmes (to watch with teens)

Little Women (to watch with teens)

Anne With An “E” (to watch with preteens and teens)

Matilda (to watch with preteens and teens)

Narnia (to watch with preteens and teens)

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (watch with the whole family)

The Peanuts Movie (watch with the whole family)

The Tigger Movie (watch with the whole family)

The Many Adventures Of Winnie the Pooh (watch with the whole family)

Paddington (watch with the whole family)

Of course the list of traditions can go on but the most important is to do them together with your family. Enjoy the Fall season and make some memories.
