Preschool Fall Activities

Hi guys! I can't believe it's already October. Today I wanted to share with you some of the fall themed activities my preschooler has been loving.

Literacy

Pumpkin seed letter formation. For this activity I gave him our Abeka

letter cards, a piece of orange felt (so that the seeds didn't move around) and 

some pumpkin seeds.

Beginning sound sensory bin. I filled our sensory bin with seeds, acorns,

pine cones, leaves, and apple beginning sound cards.He hunted for the picture that 

matched the sound on the apple baskets. 

This activity doesn't have a fall theme, but we worked on

rhyming words.

Letter formation with play dough and pony beads.

Math

Apple 1:1 correspondence. To add some fine motor practice I gave

him a bottle cap so that he could make round apples. 

Number bead stringing. I gave him number cards that had

pipe cleaners attached and some beads (yellow, red, and green). 

He would string the corresponding number of beads for each 

number.

Fall picture puzzle.

Fall leaf color sorting.

These were just some of the math and literacy activities I captured. I hope you guys are having a happy fall. :)

5 Hands On Name Activity Ideas

Hi guys! Today I wanted to share with you some activities that I've been doing with my preschooler to help him learn to recognize and spell his name. I've put together 5 hands on ideas that are fun and effective.

1. Name Puzzle

I am storing the name puzzle in a zip lock bag. He can pull it out

whenever he wants to work with this activity.

2. Name Lacing

This activity is both good for fine motor practice and name recognition.

3. Craft

 

Incorportae name practice into your theme. We did this fun rocket ship

name during our space theme.

4. Tracing

5. Bottle Cap/ Wooden Clips

My son really loves these two activities. I save the bottle caps 

and use them for all types of activities. 

I don't know about you guys but my son gets easily bored. With these 5 activities he has a variety of choices. I hope these activities have inspired you.
