Fall Week

Sorry for being behind on posting; our trip to Disney wore us out ;)  As soon as we came back, we enjoyed celebrating our fall week:

Our fall sensory bin was a huge hit - particularly since Monkey J put it together all by himself!

We used kidney beans as the base, some leaves from our yard, some fake leaves and gourds from The Dollar tree:

We did some leaf tracing from a leaf tray I had:

And then practiced our fine motor skills by cutting it out of the paper:

We also made some leaf figures by using some of the fake leaves (real ones would work too!), some craft sticks, some googly eyes, and some glue:

We also made some butterflies with the leaves and eyes too!

And here's one using a craft stick:

We put on a fall puppet show:

And we made some paintings using acorns and pinecones we collected from around our yard as our brushes:

A most wonderful fall week!

What are some of your favorite fall activities?  

We are looking forward to visiting an apple orchard and a pumpkin patch soon!
