Fun Fall Activities - Sorting and a Leaf Collage

We've been doing activities around a fall theme the last couple weeks and I wanted to share a couple that we did yesterday.

The first one we did was a fall themed sorting worksheets from Homeschool Creation's Fall Fun Printables. We sorted the apples into one box and the leaves into the second box.

Our second fun fall activity today was a leaf hunt and collage.

First I taped two pieces of orange construction paper for each child onto the picnic table.

Then we went on a leaf hunt.

When we had our hands full of leaves we went back to the table and taped them to our papers.

Simple fun in the sun and fresh air.

With the days turning cooler and the leaves changing color we've been doing a lot of fall activities. One activity we've been enjoying a lot is a game of fall memory.

To make this game I printed two copies of page 3 of the Preschool Fall Fun Printables pack from Homeschool Creations. I cut the pictures apart and glued them onto construction paper backs for added durability and so that we couldn't see the pictures through the paper. It would be even better to laminate these but I don't have a lamintor. Yet.

Anyway, the kids are enjoying this activity and we're having a lot of fun playing it together.
