Fall Bucket List


 photo bucketlist-autumn.jpgBucket Lists are so popular nowadays! I made one for summer and decided we needed an updated version for Autumn. But I can't just do a simple printed version...that'd be too easy. ;)

I drew a simple tree design onto brown craft paper and cut it out. Using fabric craft leaves (just $1 for a package of 31!), I wrote down activities for us to do from now until Thanksgiving. Then, it was just a matter of hanging our fun new list up on the chalkboard door in our kitchen! As we complete items, we'll simply move the leaves to the bottom of the tree, so the leaves are "falling" just like outside.



Curious about what's on our list? Here are some of the things we plan to do:
  • Visit the pumpkin patch
  • Go on a hayride
  • Roast hot dogs over a campfire
  • Play with Pumpkin Spice Play Dough
  • Make a gratitude tree
  • Watch the Halloween & Thanksgiving Charlie Brown specials
  • Feed the ducks at a nearby pond
  • Visit the zoo
  • Go on a photo scavenger hunt
  • Do a leaf rubbing art project

There are several other things too so we're sure to have a fun-filled Autumn together!

xo, April

This is downright inspirational! I'm always so excited for all the things we can do when the seasons change, but somehow life always seems to get in the way of actually DOING any of them. I'm kinda late to do this for fall, but maybe for Christmas :)

This is downright inspirational! I always get so excited about all the things we can do as a family when the seasons change. Somehow though life always seems to get in the way of actually DOING them. Something like this would be a great reminder! I'm kinda late for fall, but I might try something similar for Christmas. Maybe the items are ornaments that get hung on a small Christmas tree?
