Cute Little Pumpkin

We made this cute and easy little pumpkin.

You’ll need: small styrofoam ball, orange tissue paper, black felt, small black pipe cleaner, glue.

Rip the orange tissue paper into small pieces and then glue them onto the styrofoam ball, covering the whole thing up.

While your child is busy covering the ball up, cut out some pieces from the felt for a face.

Push the pipe cleaner into the top of your pumpkin for a stem.  Add a face to the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Sequencing

Last week our theme was pumpkins.  So we made some sequencing cards to help Hailey learn the steps in growing a pumpkin.

First Hailey colored the cards.

Then she cut them apart.

Then she glued them onto construction paper in the correct order.

"Where is the Leaf" Book

We made a book called “Where is the Leaf” to practice words like on, in, over, behind and under.

First Hailey colored the pictures.

Then she cut the pages apart.

The cover of the book.

Hailed added a leaf sticker in the box and then glued a flap on to the top of the box.

A leaf sticker on the dog.

Hailey put a leaf sticker under the table and then glued on a tablecloth flap.

Leaf sticker above the cat.

And behind me- open the flap and there is another leaf sticker.

We also practiced some patterns:

Hailey had to match up the items on to the card and then figure out what was supposed to go into the empty box.

Pattern practice with squirrels.

Parts of the Tree

While learning about fall, we did a lesson on learning the names of the parts of the tree.

Here’s what you’ll need: tree shape, leave stickers, words to label the parts and glue.

Glue the tree on.

Add leaves to your tree.

Glue on the names of the parts of the tree.
