We Love Fall

 Welcome

We love the crispness of Fall, collecting leaves and appreciating all the leaves changing colours.

It has been such a fantastic Fall where I live with warmer days and cool nights.  

We have learned about a lot of different trees and identifying leaves.  

So, here's what we've been up to the last few weeks.

Blowing Leaves

We coloured the background, added some punched leaves and covered the box with plastic wrap.

When the kids blew through the straw, the leaves blew inside the box.

 Good Morning

We've been super busy, as usual, creating and learning.

The kids wanted to know more about all the squirrels we see on our walk to the park so that's what we explored this month.

Here is what we've been up to.

Fun, Creative and Learning Times

 Hello

As always, we have been keeping busy with lots of fun, creative and learning times.

Winter weather is just about to arrive, so we are finishing up with our Fall activities and we will be moving onto Christmas soon.

So, here's what we've been up to.

Paper Bag Scarecrow

Crows

Scarecrow Mask

Blowing Leaves

This was so fun to make.  I took an old tissue box and cut off the front.

The kids coloured a picture of trees and we glued it to the back for the scene.  Next we filled up the box with leaves I had punched out of different colours and then I covered the front with a piece of plastic wrap.  

I added a straw to the top and when the kids blew into the straw, it made all the leaves blow around.

Welcome Fall and Thanksgiving

 Hello

Fall is such a wonderful time of year.  My kiddos just love getting outside and collecting leaves.  

I love seeing all the colours of Fall happening, it's also such a great time for learning.

We also celebrate our Canadian Thanksgiving so lots was happening.

So, here's what we did the last couple weeks.

Paper Strip Pumpkins

I cut some paper strips and we looped them together to make these cute little pumpkins.

Pumpkin Colouring

Chipmunk

So, we have 3 chipmunks in our backyard that the kids love seeing and feeding.

They absolutely loved making this craft.

Turkey Shelf Sitters

The turkeys were also a big hit with the kids.

I created a cone shape for the body and the kids decorated them.

Thanksgiving Placemats

I printed off the turkey for the kids to colour, then we decorated them.

I covered them with some clear contact paper so they can be wiped clean.

PRINTABLE

Turkey Book

I printed off this turkey book and we made the feather on a stick to use with the story.  

In the story, the feather tickles and the turkey runs away.

Pinecone Turkeys

This was definitely the hit of the week.

We collected pinecones which the kids loved doing.  I hot glued them onto a piece of cardboard for stability, and the kids added colourful feathers to decorate them.

I hope you are enjoying the Fall as much as we are.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
