RESTART FALL ‘25 Playlist

There’s something about fall that makes us want to slow down, light a candle, and lean into the cozy. Crisp mornings, crunchy leaves, pumpkin everything. And, of course, a vibey soundtrack that makes it all feel like a movie.

That’s why we put together our Fall 2025 Spotify Playlist: a little mix of soft acoustic, nostalgic throwbacks, and dreamy indie tracks that feel like walking through golden light with a PSL in hand. Think background music for painting in your sketchbook, journaling on the porch, or dancing in the kitchen while the soup simmers. 🍲🕯️

And because music + making go hand in hand, here are some fall art prompts to spark your creativity this season:

🎨 Shannon’s Mad Libs

• make a fall mad lib illustration: pull random prompts like “haunted ___ + pumpkin ___ + witch’s ___” and mash them into one drawing

⏱ Allyson’s Art Speed Dating

• set a timer for 15 minutes per medium: crayons, ink, watercolor, collage. Explore one fall subject (like pumpkins, leaves, or your coffee mug) in as many ways as you can

🖌 Katherine’s Fill the Page

• Pick one autumn theme (leaves, mushrooms, or cozy sweaters) and fill the page with as many as you can using just one color

✏️ Kenzie’s Travel Sketchbook

• Go outside with your sketchbook and capture a fall scene en plein air: the farmers market, the pumpkin patch, or a coffee shop view

As always, tag us on Instagram and let us know what you make! #restartmakeart
