As the transition from Summer to Autumn takes place and leaves turn pretty shades of orange and red, I start to look forward to what the autumnal months will bring. I do love autumn! The crisp fresh air on an early morning walk and sitting in front of the open fire with a big old mug of hot chocolate!
If you look forward to autumn/fall then you will love our autumn bucket list for families. I have created a blank bucket list so that you can fill it with all of the fun activities that you plan to do with your family.
They are a fab way to make memories with the kids, and you could also add some activities that you enjoy doing yourself.

I love Autumn too Jayne! Log fires, crisp leaves, beautiful colours…..bliss. lewis also celebrates his birthday on Halloween too so we always have lots of fun!
We love collecting conkers too and I wish I could treat myself to a winter coat, but don’t really have the budget for now 😉 We love decorating for Halloween and are always up for some crafts too 🙂
Great bucket list I need to get writing mine autumn is my favourite season.
I love Autumn. Looking forward to wooly jumpers, log fires, crumpets, rugby matches and cold crisp walks. Perfection!
Sounds like a fun Autumn. We love walking in the leaves when they turn crunchy, coming home and snuggling under a throw with a good movie x
Ohh! I have never thought of doing an Autumn bucket list. What a great idea.
I always feel sad that summer is over but I do love Autumn.
I think I will be treating myself to a new winter coat too 😀 x
Hi Jayne, I’don’t have an Autumn bucket list, but I do like the sound of yours. Especially splashing in puddles, which is still something I enjoy doing, if I have my wellies on. Sitting in front of the log burner is also something I’m looking forward to (sort of). I love the wood burner, but I really hate the cold or even a slight chill. Accept on my nose in winter, maybe.
I love chocolate, but hate hot chocolate. It’s something I really wish I enjoyed as it always looks so nice. I’ve tried all sorts, from making it out of real chocolate, to the cheap and cheerful and more expensive posh ones (that my sister sends me for Christmas!).

Collecting conkers is an autumn tradition of mine too. Hope you some nice brown, shiny ones!
I cannot wait to cook my first stew in the slow cooker, though I could do with a new one x
My wish would be a log fire but sadly we don’t have one – I shall settle for collecting conkers and scrunching through leaves
Carving pumpkins is always on the list for Halloween. Never really thought of collecting concors though as used to have so many around school so it seemed annoying if anything as kids usually would throw them haha.
Sounds like a great list. I have not had hot chocolate in ages, but it is an essential Autumn list item here too 🙂 Cream, marshmallows the works.. I need one now 🙂
A great one I always loved to do with the kids was leaf printing! Paint the veiny sides of the leaves and press down onto paper for patterns and collage! 🙂
Great autumn bucket list! I love collecting conkers, always used on put them on string but I was so bad at it haha. Halloween crafts sounds like a lot of fun! #MMBC

That’s a great list! We have a horse chestnut tree in our front yard – it’s still a baby but last year we got a ton of conkers from it. This summer was too hot and dry and all the leaves fell in July, so no nuts this year. Our Thanksgiving is coming up this weekend so we will likely have a bonfire and a “farewell to outdoor parties” party at our friends. Time to dress warm and enjoy the fall colours.

Great list definitely doing this!
An autumn bucket list is genius! It’s my favourite season and i can’t wait to get involved in lots of autumn activities with the kids.
Thanks for this, some great ideas. I love autumn!
Great to make bucket lists and tick them off
What a fabulous idea. There are lots of things we like to do in the autumn. Love all the pretty orange colours and the cooler weather to go for long walks with the children.
I love this idea, Autumn is full of excitement
This is such a great idea x
I love this. I’ve been meaning to make a list of my own Autumn ideas I would like to do this year
Great list of Autumn ideas!
