A Collection of Fall Activities for Kids

The past two days I didn't run the a/c at all. You know what that means, fall is here! Okay, the first official day of fall isn't for a few more days, but it is basically here. I've said it before, I love summer. I have a hard time when my favorite season comes to an end. The miserable heat wave that we get mid August through mid September helps tremendously. By the time it passes I am ready for fall. To welcome the season we have been enjoying a ton of fall themed sensory play around here, most of which centers on the wonderful scents of fall. I've gathered those ideas as well as ideas from around the web to bring you over 100 awesome fall activities for kids!

Fall Scented Activities
I think most people can agree that the best part of fall is the wonderful scents. So many come to mind: pumpkin pie, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cranberry, fresh coffee, cloves, cider, etc. Scented play is fun all year long but especially in the fall.
