Fall Leaf Puzzles

9/19/2017

The free membership printable this week is Fall Leaf Puzzles for visual discrimination and color recognition. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them. I then cut along the line on each leaf to make two halves.

I separated the leaves into two halves and put them into two baskets. I have included twenty pattern leaf puzzles and twelve color leaf puzzles.

In this activity the children find the two halves and put them together to form a leaf. Play continues until all puzzle pieces have been matched.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday September 24th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a fall leaf color sort.

The free membership printable this week is pencil alphabet puzzles for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then cut on the line in the center of each puzzle to make two halves and laminated all pieces.

I separated the eraser halves from the pencil tip halves and mixed up the letters in each pile. I made upper to upper ... lower to lower ... upper to lower case puzzles.

In this activity the children pick a pencil half and then find the other half with the same letter. Play continues until pencil halves have been matched.

I designed a set of circle puzzles to help work on color recognition. I printed them out on cardstock paper and cut them out. Next I cut along the lines in the center of the circles to make two halves and then laminated all pieces.

I set separated the circle halves into two piles and mixed them up. The children picked a half from one pile and then found the the matching half in the other pile. The then put the two halves together to form a circle.
