There are plenty of things to do during fall like, bake, make art, go camping and more. Here are some activities I think would be fun to do.
Have you ever been in a corn maze before? If not, then here are some mazes in Minnesota you could visit.
One maze, from an article from ‘Family Fun Twin Cities’, that stood out to me was Afton Apple Orchard’s Corn Maze. The main maze here is 15 acres, and for each year, they incorporate a different theme into the maze. If the big maze is too hard for you, or if you want to do a maze that’s better for kids, they have a couple smaller mazes. They have a straw-bale maze, a “No Left Turn” maze, and a Garden hose maze too.
For those who are 2 years old and under, the admission fee is free, kids ages 3-10 cost $10 and must be accompanied by an adult, 11-year-olds and adults cost $12.00.
A few other corn mazes available in Minnesota are, Sever’s Corn Maze, Fresh Acres Corn Maze, and one at Pearson Family Farm.
If you like arts and crafts, here are some fun and easy crafts you can do. One way to make a splatter paint tree is to drop a drop of paint onto the paper then blow on it to create branches. Take an old or unused toothbrush and dip it in tempera paint, then flick onto the branches of the tree to create leaves.
Another craft you can make is the leaf lamp. It’s really simple and easy, you use mod podge to glue leaves to the outside of a glass jar, then you put a small candle on the inside of the jar and light it.
One last fun thing you can do during fall is baking. A few fall foods from Southernliving.com include: pumpkin bread, apple pie, apple bread, corn bread, and apple cinnamon bread.
After reading this, I hope you guys found some new things you can do this fall. Of course, if you can’t do some of these, you can always rake up some leaves in your yard and jump in it, or take a walk around your neighborhood to admire the falling leaves and trees. I hope you guys have a great fall!
