Fall Colors
Take the opportunity to talk to your kids about the colors they see. Make a list of all of the things you can see in fall. If possible, take a walk to look for fall colors. Here’s what our list looked like.- Red – leaves, apples
- Orange – leaves, pumpkins
- Yellow – leaves, gourds, corn, hay
- Green – grass, leaves
- Brown – leaves, tree trunks, branches, squirrels, acorns
- Blue – sky
Fall Color Activities
Point out all of the different colors of leaves in fall. Cut out leaves from colored card stock or construction paper to practice colors with your child. Let your child play with the leaves. Ask questions during the play.- What color is the leaf?
- Can you find a red leaf?
- This leaf is yellow.
- Can you find something in the house that matches the color of this leaf?
Learning Patterns
Between the ages of 2 and 3, many children become interested in following patterns. Other children may not become interested in patterns until after age 3. A fun way to introduce patterns is by using leaves. Preschool and older children can practice pattern making with leaves, too. Cut out different colors of leaves from colored card stock or construction paper. {If your child needs scissors practice, have her cut out the leaves.}More Kids Activities with Fall Colors
