Paint a Pumpkin

If you have little ones who can’t entirely control a sharp knife, opt to paint pumpkins. Whether a Jack-o-lantern face or a whimsical landscape, your options are limitless.
If you plan to give out candy alternatives for kids with dietary restrictions, then paint one of your pumpkin masterpieces teal. The Teal Pumpkin Project designates homes with Halloween treats appropriate for gluten-free, nut-free, or sugar-free kids.
Fall Baking

Baking isn’t just for the December holidays! Make some time to bake your family’s favorite treats like Apple Cobbler Oatmeal and Nutella Raspberry Braided Bread.
Better yet? Decorate cookies with fall colors and drop them on your neighbor’s doorstep. This new fall tradition will go over well in your neighborhood.
Cider Mills & Farms

Rather than heading to the pumpkin patch, find a cider mill in your state. Cider mills typically have apple cider, U-Pick-Em apples (when in season), fresh donuts and pies, and hard cider.
Indulge in all things apple cider and still give your kids their yearly hayride fix.
