Soaking up autumn with littles in tow? Whether you're a new mama dipping her proverbial toe into the world with a new babe wrapped close to your chest, or a seasoned mama of multiples looking for fresh ways to entertain your kids, here’s a list of simple, joy-filled activities to help you savor this season to the fullest.
01. Go on a nature walk
Carry babe in your wrap or carrier and revel in the crisp air and the crunch of leaves underfoot. If you’ve got toddlers in tow, ask them to collect “fall treasures” along the way—colorful leaves, pinecones, and acorns are aplenty this time of year.
02. Visit a pumpkin patch
It wouldn't be a fall bucket list without a trip to the patch! Snap sweet photos of your little one surrounded by bright orange pumpkins, or let older siblings pick their favorite to take home.
03. Go apple picking
Make it an outing with friends or grandparents. Bring home a bag full of apples to turn into sauce, pies, or this cozy Caramel Apple Skillet Crisp.
04. Sip on something seasonal
Think cozy maple latte or pumpkin spice while baby gets some tummy time. It’s the perfect excuse to pause and be present.
05. Bake something delightful
Try pumpkin scones, apple muffins, or a simple loaf of banana bread—anything that makes your home smell like fall. Bonus: toddlers love to help stir.
06. Get crafty with leaves
Press them, paint them, or turn them into little art projects. Toddlers love exploring textures, and babies will happily watch from their snug perch in the Solly wrap.
07. Read all the fall-y books
Gather your littles on your lap or in your chest carrier and dive into stories about falling leaves, woodland animals, or cozy autumn adventures.
08. Have a mini fall photoshoot
No professional photographer required—just a tripod, your phone, and some cozy outfits to capture sweet, candid moments of your family.
09. Catch a football game
Bundle up, bring the carrier, and enjoy the buzz of the crowd. Even a local high school game can feel like an adventure for little ones.
Soak It in
No need to sweat it if you don’t check everything off your bucket list—this season is about slowing down, noticing the little things, and soaking up time together. Here’s to your sweetest, coziest fall yet.
