Fall Bucket List

Fall Bucket List

I feel like the fall season creates some of the best family memories. Seriously, if I go over all our family traditions and reflect on events that have created impressions in our home, the majority took place between September and December.

Fall is our favorite season. It provides a lot of opportunities to settle in a rhythm, embrace the outdoors, and celebrate a holiday. Some of our favorite fall activities are visiting fall festivals at local farms, visiting an apple orchard to go apple picking, going to the mountains to see the leaves change colors, eating everything pumpkin, and having our first fireplace fire! Nothing is as sweet as a wood-burning fire sipping homemade apple cider.

I wanted to put together, some of four fall family fun ideas for you to enjoy with your family. You can also take the blank checklist and fill in your own family activities & traditions for fall.

This is the perfect time to grab your pumpkin spiced latte, visit an authentic pumpkin patch, and enjoy this list of fall family fun!

Family activities solidify healthy family relationships. As you begin to gather your fall family bucket list this season, be sure to add these Family Traditions for Fall.

While your kids are at home, it is important to create family traditions. This can be done with the change of seasons and the change of activities available in one’s area. Family traditions are a set of activities you repeat within a family. Traditions make each family unique as they are experiences that not every family will have. When you combine family traditions, you create your own unique family blueprint.

As the temperatures drop and the leaves begin to turn, try some of these fall family activities. They can be done alone, with your immediate family, or you can incorporate a few of these fall ideas with the company of others like at a Friendsgiving Gathering.

Family Traditions for Fall

Enjoy these family traditions, important for creating family memories. As you establish more family memories, the bond of relationships grows stronger. These fall family traditions are sure to be new “notches” in your kids’ memory bank.

Fall Family Bucket List

One way to look organized into a season is with Family Bucket Lists. Bucket lists allow kids to look forward to unique family activities and keep parents organized to fit in all the fall activities they can.

Fall Bucket List Ideas Printable PDF

Fall Bucket List Ideas:

  • Collect Leaves to Create Nature Art

  • Make a Fall Wreath

  • Rake & Jump in a Pile of Leaves

  • Make S’mores

  • Visit a Corn Maze

  • and more Fall Bucket List Ideas

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

For the kids that love to be hands-on, pumpkin patches are traditionally set up for guests to walk around and pick up their own pumpkins. They can be found in cities (perhaps in a church parking lot) or in the country, visit a pumpkin farm. If you are able to get a a “real” pumpkin patch, it create a learning environment for your kids to see pumpkins are not always found on the shelf but first begin from growing on a vine.

Go to a Fall Festival

Our favorite fall festival is found at local farms, year after year. Look for an event that has a corn maze, hayride, burlap slides, petting farms, and more. It might be a day trip away from the city, but doing something out of the norm creates the most vivid memories.

Go Apple Picking

One of our favorite things to do is to go apple picking.  In late August, September and early October, there’s no better way to take in the beautiful time of year than an afternoon spent in the apple orchard of a little farm, away from the hustle and bustle of the produce aisle in the supermarket. The fall adventure makes for some amazing photos!

Apple Baking Day

Apples certainly make for great healthy snacks all by themselves, however, fall is the time to begin baking. If you find yourself with a surplus of apples, bake as much as you can and consider gifting the extra baked goods to neighbors, teachers, friends and more.  Pair your apple recipes with this adorable Thankful for You Gift Tag for fall.

Carve a Pumpkin

Carving a pumpkin is the All-American fall traditions. It is best done at the end of October so the pumpkin does not rot before Halloween. Enjoy over 700+ Free Pumpkin Templates for carving and be sure to follow this Pumpkin Hack to keep your carved pumpkin from getting rotten. You can also go outside the traditional norm of carving and try these no-carve pumpkin ideas.

Play Fall Games

Host a game day. This can be a larger event where you invite friends and family or it can be a family game night where you create the most intimate memories among your immediate family. The best thing about fall game parties is you can keep the house clean and free of germs choosing to host outside.

Fall Games to Play

Boo Your Neighbors

Get your neighbors involved with a friendly game of boo-ing. Boo your neighbors by going to their front door. Dropping a treat or bag of candy and running just after ringing the doorbell. The goal is to continue to fall tradition until all of the neighborhood is booed. Download Free You’ve Been Booed Printables.

Thanksgiving Tree

One of the best things to do every fall is taking a gratitude challenge. This can be done through a nightly dinner conversation in a 30-Day Gratitude Challenge or you can create a Thanksgiving tree. Put a few dry branches in a vase and have everyone add hanging leaves (made from construction paper) with messages of thanks.

Cook with Pumpkin

When the first leaf falls, the flavors of pumpkin are everywhere . Teach your kids to enjoy the mixture of cinnamon and squash with pumpkin recipes. You can create your own pumpkin recipes from scratch or bake easy pumpkin recipes with these canned pumpkin recipes -pumpkin recipes from breakfast to dessert and everything in between

Volunteer

In a season of giving thanks, be sure to also give back. Paying it forward is as much a gift for someone else as it is for you. Find a service project you can commit to for the season such as creating fall turkey kits or homeless kits.  Volunteering provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Plus, intrinsically, it gives to you just as much as it gives back to someone else!

Decorate for Fall

Pull at your fall decorations or get to the Dollar Tree and buy some new ones. There are many low-cost Fall Décor Ideas for decorating the home. Don’t forget your child to decorate their little corner of the home, their bedroom.

Have a Bonfire Night

Gather some firewood and get ready to have a bonfire. A family bonfire can take place on an overnight camping trip or in your own backyard. Try different and unique S’mores recipes as well as these campfire cones – your kids will love them and their hands will be free of sticky marshmallows.

Fall Foliage Drive

As the leaves begin to turn, take a Scenic Drive. This can be a day trip or a weekend trip to the mountains. Our family has rented a cabin in a state park, visited caves, had picnics, and walked a few trails. Keep in mind the colors of the leaves in the mountains will change a lot faster than most cities. You can keep track of the Fall Foliage Report with Weather.gov.

Family activities can go beyond the season of fall. Look at these year-round Family Traditions. Pin to Pinterest.

The Elf on the Shelf chips iron

Looking for a fun and silly new way to entertain your kids with The Elf on the Shelf this season? This hilarious idea, shared by Elf Mom Clare S. with Frugal Coupon Living, is sure to bring smiles to your family! In this creative scene, your little guy is ironing ruffled potato chips to make them smooth. On one side, there’s a stack of crinkled chips, and on the other, a neat pile of “ironed” regular chips. To top it off, there’s a sign that reads, “We ironed your chips because they were all wrinkled.” This clever Elf prank will definitely be a hit with your kids!

How to Set Up The Elf on the Shelf Potato Chip Ironing Prank

This whimsical prank is a funny way to show off your Christmas elf’s quirky side. The idea of ironing potato chips is so absurd that it’s guaranteed to get plenty of laughs. Your tiny elf will look like they’ve been hard at work ironing those crinkly chips into perfect, smooth potato slices. All you need is a stack of ruffled chips, some regular chips for the “ironed” version, and a toy iron to complete the scene.

Whether your family elf is set up on the kitchen counter or near the snack shelf, this lighthearted prank will make snack time even more fun!

A Silly Scene for Your Holiday Mischief-Maker

In this fun setup, your Yuletide elf has taken it upon themselves to “fix” your potato chips. It’s the perfect combination of silly and unexpected, and the best part is how easy it is to set up! With just a few supplies, your Merry messenger can get to work on this ridiculous task, leaving your kids giggling when they discover the scene. And don’t forget to include the funny sign—whether you use “crinkled” or “wrinkled,” the message adds the perfect touch to this elf prank!

Supplies Needed for Your Festive Scout’s Chip Ironing Prank

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
  • Ruffled potato chips
  • Regular potato chips (for the “ironed” look)
  • Iron, toy iron, or mini iron prop
  • Small sign with the message: “We ironed your chips because they were all crinkled/wrinkled”

Instructions for Staging the Elf Potato Chip Prank

  1. Gather the chips: Start by grabbing a handful of ruffled potato chips and a stack of regular potato chips. The ruffled ones will be your “before” chips, and the regular chips will be the “after” ones that have been “ironed.”
  2. Set up the ironing station: Place the ruffled chips on one side, as if your Christmas companion is getting ready to smooth them out. Then, place the regular chips in a neat stack on the other side, as if they’ve just been ironed to perfection.
  3. Position the iron: Place a toy iron near your little visitor, making it look like they’ve been hard at work transforming those wrinkly chips. If you don’t have a toy iron, you can use a small household item that resembles one or a real one that is not plugged in.
  4. Add the sign: Make a small sign that says, “We ironed your chips because they were all crinkled” (or use “wrinkled” if you prefer). Place it next to your Holiday mischief-maker to complete the prank.
  5. Enjoy the reaction: Watch your kids’ faces light up when they find their little family elves busy at work with this silly snack setup!

This simple but hilarious idea is a perfect way to bring some extra fun into your elf’s holiday antics. Whether your tiny scout is fixing snacks or making mischief, this prank is sure to bring plenty of smiles and laughter!

If you’re looking for a funny, creative way to stage your Elf this holiday season, we’ve got just the thing! Imagine this: your little festive scout is in a bit of a predicament, tied to a paper towel roll with toy sharks circling around! It’s the perfect setup to bring some humor into your home and give your family a good laugh.

The Elf on the Shelf Shark Encounter

Who knew that toy sharks could cause so much trouble for your North Pole visitor? Picture it: your little Christmas companion, tied up with twine to a paper towel roll like they’re stranded on an island, with sharks closing in. It’s a scene straight out of a holiday adventure movie—except this time, it’s happening in your living room!

This idea is not only funny but super easy to set up, and it will have everyone wondering how your cheerful companion got themselves into such a sticky situation. Maybe the sharks are just being curious, or maybe they’re after some holiday mischief! Either way, your little friend will be the talk of the morning.

How to Stage The Elf on the Shelf Shark Trap

Setting up this scene is as simple as grabbing a few common items from around the house. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can turn your workshop elf into a daring adventurer caught in a comical shark-infested scenario.

Your family elf has clearly been up to some mischief, and now they’ve found themselves in the jaws of danger—or at least surrounded by a few plastic sharks! Here’s how to create this funny scene in your home.

Supplies You’ll Need:

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll (your choice of festive scout)
  • Toy Sharks (the more, the merrier!)
  • Twine (to tie your jolly sprite to the stake)
  • A Paper Towel Roll (for the “island”)
  • Scissors

Instructions for Staging This Funny Idea:

The Elf on the Shelf Shark Toy Attack

  1. Set the Scene: Start by placing the paper towel roll upright on a flat surface. This will act as the “stake” that your holiday helper is tied to.
  2. Tie the Elf: Wrap some twine around the tiny scout’s body and secure them to the paper towel roll. Make sure they’re snug but not too tight—they need to look like they’re tied up, not uncomfortable!
  3. Place the Sharks: Surround your merry messenger with plastic toy sharks, placing them in a circle around the paper towel roll. This creates the illusion that your jolly sprite is in the middle of a shark-filled danger zone.
  4. Final Touches: Add any extra touches you think will enhance the scene—maybe a sign that says “Help!” or some additional props like water puddles or beach-themed decorations to complete the stranded-on-an-island effect.
  5. Take a Picture: Don’t forget to capture this hilarious moment before your kids find it in the morning! You’ll want to keep this photo for holiday memories or share it with family and friends to spread the laughter.

With just a few simple supplies and a bit of imagination, your little visitor can become the star of a thrilling holiday shark encounter. This fun and easy setup will definitely have your family talking (and laughing) about it all day long!

More Shark Ideas for Christmas Elves

If your family loves shark-themed Elf antics, we have even more fun ideas for you to try! First, why not pair your elf visitor with a Baby Shark printable note? Your festive scout can leave a cute message for the kids, signed by none other than Baby Shark. These same toy sharks can swim alongside The Elf on the Shelf, creating an adorable yet slightly mischievous scene with a note that’s sure to delight any little fans of the viral song.

Another funny idea is having your holiday mischief-maker hanging over the toilet, almost being attacked by Jaws! Imagine the red guy dangling from a string, just inches away from a lurking shark in the toilet bowl. The toy sharks used in your shark circle scene can also be perfect for this daring and silly setup. It’s a jaw-dropping surprise that’s guaranteed to make your family giggle!

For a more dramatic scenario, try setting up your North Pole visitor in the bathtub. Picture your yuletide elf floating helplessly as sharks circle below, ready to attack. But don’t worry—another tiny scout can come to the rescue! Whether they’re holding a rope or a pool float, this little Christmas adventure will have everyone on the edge of their seats. The same toy sharks can be reused for all these setups, giving your elf more shark-themed thrills!

Brussels sprout prank idea for The Elf on the Shelf

Looking for a hilarious way to surprise (or trick!) your kids this holiday season? This clever idea for The Elf on the Shelf comes from Elf Mom Clare S., and it’s all about a funny holiday prank. In this scenario, your little Christmas companion has replaced the delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates with…yuck, Brussels sprouts! Imagine the surprise on your kids’ faces when they discover this silly switch-up. This prank is sure to get plenty of giggles and maybe a few “Ew’s!”

How to Set Up The Elf on the Shelf Ferrero Rocher Prank

In this festive chocolate idea for The Elf on the Shelf, your Yuletide elf plays a classic trick by removing the chocolates from Ferrero Rocher wrappers and replacing them with green Brussels sprouts. The contrast between the luxurious gold-wrapped treat and the unsuspecting Brussels sprout inside makes this Elf prank a sure hit. Plus, it’s easy to stage and perfect for adding some lighthearted fun to your family elf’s antics.

A Fun Twist for Your Holiday Mischief-Maker

This prank offers a perfect mix of humor and creativity. While your little guy is busy setting the scene, the real surprise will come when your kids unwrap what they think is a delicious treat, only to find a healthy (and maybe unwanted) surprise. It’s a fun and easy way to bring some laughter to the holiday season and add a mischievous twist to your family elf’s regular routine!

Supplies Needed for Your Festive Scout’s Prank

  • The Elf on the Shelf Doll
  • Ferrero Rocher chocolates (unwrap and save the wrappers)
  • Brussels sprouts (small enough to fit inside the wrappers)
  • Scissors or knife (optional for adjusting the Brussels sprouts size)

Instructions for Staging This Elf on the Shelf Prank

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Start by selecting small Brussels sprouts that will fit snugly into the Ferrero Rocher wrappers. If needed, use scissors or a knife to trim them down to size.
  2. Unwrap the chocolates: Carefully unwrap the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, making sure not to damage the wrappers. Set the chocolates aside (for later enjoyment!).
  3. Insert the Brussels sprouts: Replace the chocolates with the trimmed Brussels sprouts, wrapping them back up tightly in the Ferrero Rocher wrappers. Ensure that they look identical to the real thing!
  4. Set the scene: Position your Christmas elf near the Ferrero Rocher box with a mischievous look (as if he’s been the culprit behind the chocolate switch). Scatter a few real chocolates (or opened wrappers) around to make it seem like your tiny scout got caught in the act!
  5. Enjoy the reaction: Wait for the moment your kids discover the prank, unwrapping what they think is a sweet treat, only to find a Brussels sprout inside!

This fun and simple prank is a great way to add a bit of humor and surprise to your holiday season. Your Holiday mischief-maker will leave everyone in stitches with this unexpected chocolate swap!
