Coffee Filter Pumpkins: Coffee filters can be used for any season to make something fun! We used Do-A-Dot markers and a spray bottle. Watch the orange blend into the white spaces as the water is absorbed. When it dries, add a construction paper stem and small pipe cleaner for a curly vine.
Fall-owing Directions Math and Literacy: These laminated worksheets helped Emma practice following directions to add and decode a mystery message. We also worked on number and letter formation. These came from www.allkidsnetwork.com.
Jack-o-Lantern Funny Faces: These 1/2 pieces can be arranged in any fashion. After creating one, choose a follow-up activity. Ask your child to point to the ones that are happy, have circle eyes, do not have a nose, etc. Or ask if he/she can make a jack-o-lantern with certain characteristics. You can also discuss emotions and model character development by speaking as the jack-o-lantern in a unique voice. Then ask your child, "How is this jack-o-lantern feeling? How would he talk? What would he say?"
Jack-o-Lantern Memory: As with the previous matching game, you could also discuss shapes and emotions with these cards. Ask your child, "What happened to make this jack-o-lantern be so upset? Why is this one laughing?"
More Fall Books: We are developing quite a home library with many seasonal books. Most of these had a Thanksgiving theme.
