Visit a farmers market and look for apples and apple cider, squash, pumpkins, and other harvest-time goodies. Fix treats such as:

• Hot Apple Cider. Heat cider and add a pinch of cinnamon.
• Applesauce. 
• Baked Squash. Cut squash in half, remove the seeds and pulp, and bake it until it's soft.
• Roasted Seeds. Save the seeds from squash or pumpkins. Wash them, toss with a little oil and salt, and roast them in the oven at 350° F until they're golden and crisp.

Make it pretty!

• Pick out some pumpkins and gourds at the farmers market for decorations.
• Take a walk in your neighborhood to collect colorful autumn leaves, pine cones, and other interesting things.
• Arrange your finds into a beautiful table centerpiece.

• Bob for apples.
• Carve or paint pumpkins.
• Make scarecrows.
• Make a straw-bale obstacle course and play Follow the Leader through it.

You'll need bowling pins and small, hard pumpkins.

Set up the bowling pins on a hard surface. Draw a line on the ground where bowlers must stop before rolling their pumpkin.
