My baby is no longer a “baby.” She is now a toddler (children the age of one to three)! Can you believe this? A toddler? Toddlers are so full of energy. It’s gotten a bit colder here (Quebec), but that doesn’t stop my daughter from wanting to be outside. I’m not a big fan of the “outside” but to stay sane; I HAVE to take her out at least once a day. With the leaves falling there are plenty of fall activities for her to do. Today I’m sharing five fun Fall activities for the toddlers in your lives.
5 Fun Fall Activities For Toddlers
Play in the leaves
How fun right? More so for my little wiggly worm. I’m always sharing videos of us in the yard on Snapchat. You should totally follow us if you are not already. Just be sure to dress them warmly and let them go wild!
Go Apple and pumpkin picking
Apple picking is SO Much fun! Especially if you can go to a farm that also has a pie! When my son was a toddler, we took him apple picking and pumpkin picking. We had a fantastic time. This year we didn’t get to go so decided to get a pumpkin at the grocery store. Not the same thing AT all!
Decorate a pumpkin
This one was so much fun. Mostly for me because I got to make paint using products from my kitchen. Toddlers are too young for pumpkin carving, so I think decorating a pumpkin using paint and other craft supplies is the next best thing. Just be sure to use non-toxic paint if you do decide to go that route.
Go for long walks
My daughter LOVES going out for long walks. I’m the one doing all the walking while she is pushed around in the stroller, but you get the idea. One of the things that I do to pass the time is pointing things out to her. With all the beautiful Fall colors, there is ALWAYS something to point out.
Bake cookies
Baking cookies has been my go to activities for a while now. We do it often when it rains, or just for the fun of it! I don’t need a reason to bake cookies. It’s delicious and straightforward enough. I recently made a batch of cookies that I can’t wait to share the recipe with you guys soon.
There you have it. My 5 fun Fall activities that you can do with your toddler. If your toddler is anything like mine, then an hour in the backyard will be MORE than enough to keep them entertained. Enjoy those precious moments. Before you know it, they will be teenagers and things like “playing in the leaves” will become “boring” to them.

I’ve been working in the yards lately and doing some fall planting of trees, etc. My young grandson loves to help me. He’s in charge of watering the plants and does such a good job. He definitely loves being outside and these are all great fall activities.

I wish I read this last weekend! I had a toddler in the house and we had a hard time thinking of stuff to do. Thank you for all the ideas so next time they come into town I’ll know what to do.

These are great ideas for toddlers! My favorite was always raking up the leaves and letting my daughter run and jump in them. She always had the biggest grin on her face lol. Thanks for sharing!

We do a lot of walks, weather permitting, of course. Even walking in the rain isn’t too bad so long as we have raincoats and rain boots. My youngest will be 3 in December and I’d really love to know where toddlers get all of their energy from, lol.
Kelly Hutchinson says
When my kids were younger, they loved going to the pumpkin patch. They especially loved riding on the hayride.

These sound like great fall activities to do with toddlers in the fall! I just painted pumpkins last weekend with my 3 year old niece and we had a blast!!

I find that long walks are good ways to tire out your little ones. I loved that it has helped me lose weight and it helps me to get my kids to bed on time.
Mimi Green says
All great ideas, my daughter has left the toddler category and were officially in the pre-school age group. She loves doing arts and crafts projects. With the fall weather we enjoy fall festivals, we need to decorate some pumpkins.
Liz Mays says
Aww, the toddler years are so much fun. I think these are great ideas. We used to love apple picking!
Rebecca Swenor says
These are all great fun fall activities for toddlers. I used to rack up the leaves and the kids used to jump in the piles and after playing we used to stuff pumpkin bags with the leaves. Thanks for sharing these fun fall activities for toddlers.
Stephen says
I am with bake the cookies suggestion – at least I get something yummy out of it…but then again the long walk would probably be needed after eating all the cookies too!
Brandy says
OH how cute! I love kids at this stage, it’s so much fun! I am thinking when my kiddos were toddlers we did leaf rubbings and grave stone rubbings – super easy and super fun! I love all of your ideas!
CourtneyLynne says
Great suggestions!! My daughter is all about baking this year. Well at least mixing a million ingredients together in the kitchen aid lol… I think she could care less about the finished product lol
HilLesha says
My toddler loves these type of activities, especially decorating pumpkins. We’ll actually be doing that sometime soon. 🙂
