Why not make something not so fun, and put a twist on it and make it fun so they have something to look forward to!
Not only will your kids love these ideas, but also your pets, and yourself because you can take fun cute pictures, but also they can stay busy while you do the things you need to do. Below are six ways in which you, your family, and others can have a great time while doing the things we all don’t love to do.

- Have your children put on some gloves, pick the object you want to fill and have some fun with it.
- You set a timer to see how long it takes your kids to help fill all the containers you want
- If you are working with kids that's all different ages, why not give the older ones a bigger bucket or whatever you are having them fill it with so that way it can be more challenging for them.

- To have to walk backwards
- Etc..
- To make it for your younger siblings
- Be creative by making a maze out of leaves that you won’t be able to clean up afterwards
- Begin by raking a spot in your yard for room(such as making it so nothing is there clean)
- Then proceed with making the leaves form a line in which that will become a labyrinth, and that has a beginning and an end, as well as having roadblocks in between.
- You can keep it however you want. If you want it simple you could just make a spiral path
- Make a leaf rainbow by going and finding all the different colored leaves that you want and arrange them by making a rainbow out of it.
- You can make it fun by gluing leaves on a piece of paper or you could even tie the leaves on the string to use for fall decorations
- If you want to keep the leaves throughout the the season you can always laminate them by placing them inside two pieces of contact paper or clear packing tape, and then you can even cut them out.
- Instead of just making one big pile of leaves, why don’t you think about switching up and having a small trail of smaller piles of leaves so that you can make it fun by having your kids jump into the smaller ones before getting to the bigger one.
- You can switch it up even more and make it a little game or even like challenges that they could do to go through it again.
- Collect some fun and awesome objects (fall items) such as small pumpkins or cookie cutters stickers etc. and make it a treasure hunt
- Stick them in the pile of leaves
- Give your kids a list of objects that are in the pile and have them find it
- And then they are able to start the hunt
- Kids love to find so many different types of leaves on there treasure hunts
- Have fun with it and go to the store and grab a memory book at the craft store and a photo album of everything in there
- That way you and you child can keep those awesome memories that you have had together forever
