Autumn Bucket List- 80 Ideas And A Special Display

Pin It

Our Autumn bucket list is on our "All Seasons Tree." We keep this tree up year round and decorate it accordingly for seasons, holidays, and birthdays. For our fall bucket list, we will start off the season with a tree full of leaves. On those leaves are the ideas. Every day we will pick an idea (or two!) from the tree and take down the leaf. Hopefully, by the beginning of December our tree will be as bare as the ones outside.

We came up with 80 ideas and I wanted to come up with some way to categorize them. I wanted to make looking through them each day as easy as possible, so I came up with the color coded the different categories. I decided to split them up into five sections.

Gold leaves (which look tan in this picture) are the bigger adventures that take more time, planning, and/or money. Brown is our food ideas. Orange is for crafts. Red is for "simple fun" and yellow is for the few bits of randomness that were thrown in. But you could organize this in so many different ways. Believe me, I know. For instance, you could do it by months, or holidays, or themes.

Now onto the list (in no particular order)! I've added links where needed to give credit or for further information.
