Autumn Activities for Rainy Days for Kids

It is not at all easy to make children not spend the whole day sitting in front of the television. But if you find the right way, kids will enjoy physical activities and look for them themselves. We had written down for you some activities which are guaranteed – children will be entertained.

Whether you turn this list into your autumn bucket list, or you just pick a few of your favorites, you will make some great memories. The key is to slow down and enjoy the rainy days with your family.

1. Have a movie marathon complete with popcorn, warm blankets and candles.
2. Build a fort. Put pillows in the living room and complete it with movie marathon.
3. Build a puzzle. Clear off a table and make it a family project.
4. Make an origami. Create fun animals and shapes. Give them to friends or family members as gifts.
5. Make paper airplanes. See whose airplane goes the farthest.
6. Have breakfast in bed. 
7. Make a time capsule. Have each family member write down something they are grateful for and include a special item in the time capsule. Then, store it away until a designated date. You can open it as early as Thanksgiving.
8. Play a card game. Choose from crazy eights, spoons, go fish, or even poker.

19. Carving pumpkins. Prepare the pumpkin and set yourself a timer! The fun of scooping out pumpkin guts is as good as it gets as far as fall activities
20. Participate in a Halloween costume contest. Trick-or-treating is one of the best places to show off your costumes, but take it up a notch and attend a Halloween event where you can enter your ensemble into a contest.
