26 fun outdoor autumn activities for kids to make the most of spooky season!

Autumn is our absolute favourite time of year, but too often, we see the kids huddled away on screens in the afternoon during autumn after spending the whole summer outside in the sunshine. We get it, the evenings are darker and colder, but some of our best childhood memories are from wrapping up in a warm sweater and playing outside until the street lamps came on!

We love the warm sweaters, spiced drinks and gorgeous autumnal colours that pop up all around us. It’s the best time of year to do fun things outdoors, making the most of the gorgeous autumn colours all around us and the atmospheric build up to spooky season!

We’ve put together a list of outdoor activities for kids this autumn to wrap up well and go outside and have fun! So browse through the list, pick out your autumn activities and enjoy the prettiest and spookiest season of them all with your kids!
