The days are getting shorter and there’s a chill in the air. It must be fall! Fall is by far my favorite season. There are new, seasonal things to learn about and crafty fall projects to create. Here are a few of my favorite fall ideas.
Acorn Nature Collage – No Time for Flash Cards
Make an Acorn Collage of items collected from your backyard. This is a great activity for Pre-K all the way through first or second grade.
Books for Fall - The Happy Housewife
Are you kids looking for some new reads this season? This list contains 9 fall-themed books.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Playdough – Crystal & Co.
Yum! Recipe for playdough (it’s not edible) that smells like pumpkin pie! Changing the smell of the playdough makes an everyday activity seem special.
How to Draw a Fall Tree – Art Projects for Kids
A step-by-step guide to drawing a realistic fall tree. This is a project for ages Kindergarten and older.
Science Project: Predict Fall Leaf Colors – TLC – How Stuff Works
There are still a few green leaves left on the trees! Use the directions in this experiment to preview the leaf’s fall color.
Mosaic Cornucopia – Kaboose
Create a mosaic cornucopia! This creative craft is perfect for those that love to tear paper and glue.
Fall Tree Dice Game – My Montessori Journey
A Montessori-inspired game where your child adds leaves to their tree as determined by the roll of the die. This game can easily be played by one or two children.
Create a Thanksgiving Tree – Homeschooling Ideas
What an excellent visual reminder of what we’re truly thankful for! After creating a “tree”, each person in the family writes one thing/person they are thankful for each day on a leaf. If you start on November 1st, you will have a beautifully leaved tree by Thanksgiving Day!
