Happy Fall ... Almost

9/21/2015

In a couple of days it will officially be fall ... my favorite season!! There is just something magical about seeing the leaves change color and taking hay rides to pick pumpkins at the pumpkin patch.

It's also a great time to do activities outside with your early learners as the temperatures are not too hot or too cold (at least here in Wisconsin). We go on scavenger hunts ... long walks ... gather leaves and acorns for art projects ... do math and lit centers and even have circle time outside.

Please leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite fall outdoor activities are to do with your early learners!!

Hi Shelley, love your site. We do leaf sorting by size and then by color and then we count them. Fall is my favorite too!

I have never had circle time outside and am really excited to try it. I think switching things up a bit is a great idea. One thing we like to do is make your giant scarecrow project. We have children work in teams and they turn out wonderful. Thanks for all you do and being such and inspiration for my pre-k class.

In my home preschool we rake leaves into big piles. We run and jump into them. We also take the leaves and make leaf collages.
