OUR FALL HANDS ON LEARNING ACTIVITIES PT 1

We have been starting to learn about the different seasons: starting with Fall!

Our homeschool group got together last week & made this adorable craft out of  leaves, it's a turtle.


Here are some educational worksheets we have used in our Fall lesson:
A little bit of everything -math, spelling, etc.



Here is our sensory box, I made using:

fake & real fall leaves
fake gourds
fall clip art that I laminated
acorns
felt pumkins, leaves, apples & scarecrow

Then we sorted & discussed some of the features of Fall
I saw similiar paper towel holder fall trees, I decided to do our own with our own spin on it:
( we used towel holders, chunky rubber stamps & tempra paint.) The kids dipped the stampers in the paint to make their leaves.


I gave my 18 month the leaf stamps & had her dip them in paint. What a HUGE mess! What was I thinking!!! She had fun though because she LOVES to wash her hands!!!



I have more to add to our Fall Learning Activities - we just haven't finished them yet, check out part 2 of this post SOON! More crafts, etc.!
