As the leaves turn to hues of brown and orange and the air gets cooler, children often become fidgety at the thought of staying indoors. Here are some creative ideas for making memories, strengthening relationships, and having fun with your children during the fall season.

Remember, a fun afternoon doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. Your children will just love the fact that you are spending time with them.

Go Ice Skating. Central Florida’s climate may not offer all of the fun outdoor activities associated with winter weather, such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowman-making. But kids can still enjoy the winter festivities when you take them to an ice skating rink for an afternoon of slippery fun.

Make A Bird Feeder. Children love getting their hands messy and making crafts. So plan a fun activity where they can build bird feeders to help their feathered friends keep warm in the winter. Hang the bird feeder close to a window so that your kids can enjoy their creation and its visitors throughout the entire season.

Challenge Your Kids to a Game of Chess. Introduce your kids to a lifelong hobby by teaching them to play chess. This game will help them develop their reasoning skills, while making them feel grown-up. This is a classic game that you  can enjoy together.

Build an Indoor Fort. Since building a snow fort isn’t a possibility in Florida, treat your kids to a similar indoor adventure. Use your creativity to transform your living room into a massive fortress of chairs and blankets, which your kids will love to help set up. Next, break out a flashlight and your kids favorite story book and treat them to an enchanting tale.
