Top 4 Most Popular Fall Activities For Kids

Autumn has arrived, and although school has started and you might be tempted to think that children will be busy this time of the year, the truth is that they are more energetic than ever before! At Astro Jump, we have quite a selection of inflatables that will keep the children busy. Have you ever wondered what are the most popular and interactive fall activities for kids, activities that will keep them engaged and interested and help them learn new things as well? Here you will find four of the most enticing ones: 1. Autumn Crafts! Crafts and games will never go out of fashion, and the good news is that you can easily adjust the crafts so that they match each season. That being said, get started to gather your supplies for autumn crafts and make the best apple or orange collage with your energetic kids. As a matter of fact, making collages by cropping fruits or photos is one of the quickest and most entertaining activities for younger kids, not to mention that it will help the little ones understand the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. 2. Autumn Hand Painting And Place Mats We have all done this as children, and most of us expected the autumn to arrive just so we can gather the colored, fallen leaves and turn them into a gorgeous mat. Both hand painting and creating place mats made entirely out of leaves are truly interesting, and they will surely keep the little ones engaged and busy for a while. Besides this, creating mats out of leaves also helps children develop their motor skills, as well as color coordination skills and creativity, and this will certainly benefit them in the long run. 3. Cooking Some Autumn-Specific Recipes One of the many beauties of this season is that there are plenty of delicious recipes that only take a few minutes, and that will help children get a deeper insight into the art of cooking. For instance, if you want to bond with your child you can always bake some apple chips – all you have to do is to thinly slice the apples, spray them with oil, sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on top of them and then bake them until they are crispy! You can also make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies or gingerbread men, as both of these seasonal recipes appeal to young children. Don't forget that autumn is also the Halloween season, which means that you can also experiment with various "spooky" recipes! 4. Throw A Halloween Backyard Party There is no better way to start the trick-or-treating than by throwing a small Halloween backyard party for your child and his neighborhood friends. At Astro Jump, we have a popcorn or a cotton candy machine you can rent, along with an inflatable bounce house or even an obstacle course that you can decorate as you please to make it even more frightening!
