Homeschool Preschool - Fall and Leaves

 Bleeding Tissue Paper Craft

We used squares of bleeding tissue paper to make beautiful fall leaves!



Once Sweet E filled the entire leaf, she sprayed it generously with water.


After a minute or two, we peeled off the tissue paper squares.


We made several!


Even Honey Pot wanted to help!



Once they dried, they looked great! We hung these along the staircase, and enjoyed them all autumn long.

Alphabet Scavenger Hunt

One of Sweet E's favorite activities is a scavenger hunt. So I found these free printable leaf letters from Teachers Pay Teachers, and I hid the uppercase letters around the house. As Sweet E found them, she came back to this sheet of lowercase letters and matched them up!






Baking Leaf Cookies

It's our first week of fall tradition to bake some maple cinnamon cutout cookies! Sweet E helped with every step of the way, from mixing and rolling out the dough, to cutting and decorating.





They're so delicious!


Measuring with Acrylic Leaves




Tracing with Q-Tips and Paint

Sweet E requests this activity a lot, usually I write numbers and she traces them with q-tips and paint. This time we did it to match our theme. Letters A and B review, and leaves.



And that's a wrap on our fall theme! We're heading to the beach in a couple weeks, so stay tuned for some fun beach and ocean activities!

Homeschool Preschool - Apples

Apple Pie Playdoh
To start our apple week we made homemade playdough, with some apple pie spice mixed in. It smelled delicious!


We used it to build A's...



two different ways!


And then also for free play!


Making Patterns

We made lots of patterns with our acrylic apples!




Invisible Numbers

This is a favorite activity for Sweet E. I drew some apples, and then using a white crayon I wrote a number inside each. Sweet E had to paint the apples to reveal the number, then tell me what the number is!




She had so much fun, she wanted me to make another page of apples!

Following Directions Game

This free printable came from Teachers Pay Teachers. Sweet E loved going apple picking!


There were several cards with special directions; we did three at a time. She had to listen to the color and description, then pick the right apples and place them in her basket. Some were whole, some were cut in half, some had a bite taken out of them, some had a worm in them, etc.




We did this activity multiple times!

See you next week!
