7 Magical Fall Activities for Toddlers (That Don’t Require a Screen)
🍁 Cozy sweaters. Crunchy leaves. Giggling kids with sticky fingers. Fall is here—let’s make some memories!
If you’re a parent of a toddler, you know two things:
- The days are long, but the years are short.
- You need a toolkit of simple, joyful activities that don’t involve screens.
At Cupkin, we believe in celebrating childhood’s little moments. Our products are designed by real parents (that’s us!) and loved by over 800,000 families around the world. Here are our favorite fall activities for toddlers—and yes, we included a few secret Cupkin hacks to make your life easier. 😉

2. Tiny Pumpkin Patch Hunt
Bring the pumpkin patch to your backyard or living room!
- Hide mini pumpkins (or even orange balls) around the yard.
- Give your toddler a Cupkin tumbler to collect their “finds.”
- For every pumpkin discovered, they get a sticker in their Cupkin Sticker Book!
3. Leafy Masterpieces
Nothing says fall like a big pile of leaves.
- Go on a leaf hunt together, looking for different shapes and colors.
- Use glue sticks and construction paper to make leaf collages—frame them as seasonal art!
- For extra fun, try pressing leaves between the pages of a book to create nature bookmarks.
4. Spooky Snack Picnic
Check out the recipe here!
Pack a snack picnic—inside or outside!
- Use Cupkin leak-proof cups for cider or warm milk.
- Create silly “monster sandwiches” with cookie cutters.
- Spread out a cozy blanket and let your toddler decorate their own “placemat” with Halloween stickers.
5. Storytime in Costume
What’s better than reading together? Reading together in costume!
- Let your toddler choose a favorite costume (superhero, animal, or…tiny pumpkin).
- Read fall-themed books, then act out the stories.
- Use stickers from the Halloween Sticker Book to “illustrate” the scenes together.
6. Indoor Apple Orchard
Can’t make it to the orchard?
- Fill a bin with red and green balls (“apples”).
- Toddlers “pick” the apples with tongs or their hands—great for fine motor skills!
- Each time they collect an apple, they get to add a sticker to their sticker book or color a matching page.
7. Fall-Themed Coloring Pages
- Grab your set of Cupkin's premium coloring pages!
Final Thoughts (From One Parent to Another)
You’re doing better than you think. Fall is a season for cozy moments, giggles, and creativity. Some days, screens win—and that’s okay! But when you want mess-free, screen-free magic, keep a Cupkin Sticker Coloring Book in your back pocket.
They’re only little for a little while. Let’s make this fall unforgettable.
