October is an unpredictable month of the year. Some years it may be covered in snow while others it might be incredibly warm. While the weather in October is unpredictable, the activities and quality time spent with kids doesn’t have to be. Parents who want to show their children a good time in the late fall can do so with many different activities. In fact, there are a few recommended options for children to enjoy with their parents in the paragraphs below. One thing that anyone can count on in the month of October is the fact that it is pumpkin season. This means pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin picking and of course, pumpkin carving are all options. Children love to carve pumpkins but they love to pick them out just as much. Taking children to pumpkin patches where they can run through acres and acres of fresh pumpkins to pick will absolutely make their day. Once children have selected their pumpkin, a fun-filled night of pumpkin carving should follow. It’s always best to get a marker and trace out the design before cutting into the pumpkin. This activity should always have an adult supervising so that children do not get hurt. Stick a candle in the center of the pumpkin and watch it glow in the moonlight. Corn mazes are another fun-filled delight for October. This month brings the end of corn season which leaves the dried up, fully grown corn stalks to play in. There are usually several corn mazes available for children to meander through with their folks. There are options for the older kids that include haunted corn mazes and then there are options for the younger children that allow them to wander without getting lost for too long. Either way, it’s always a good idea to let the kids explore nature in a maze made of corn stalks. A hay ride is another fun option that is best utilized in the fall. Just like corn mazes, hay rides have several options also. They can be haunted or not haunted, long or short, etc. Usually hay rides are done on carriages which are pulled by horses. The truth of the matter is that any parent can make a hay ride for their children with a truck and/or a trailer. Simply gather hay together and throw the kids on for a ride. They’ll absolutely treasure the adventure and remember all of these fun activities for years and years to come. Find a Utah, New York or WV pumpkin festival and have some wholesome fall fun.
