Leaf Preschool Theme

 Leaves are a fun topic this time of year with them changing colors and falling off the tree!

We always enjoy going out and collecting leaves when we have this theme.  Here is our collection this year.  It is fun to sort them in many different ways; size, shape, color, and so on.

We also enjoy doing leaf rubbings.  My son did a good job all by himself this year.  If you put a leaf under the paper and use a crayon you can get this fun look.

 There are also several sources that have fun leaf activities.  Making Learning Fun has leaf and Fall activities like this counting one below.

 There are several free printable packs worth checking out.  I have used them all throughout the years.

3 Dinosaurs Leaves Pack

This Reading Mama Fall Pre-K Pack

A Teaching Mommy Leaves Pack

Homeschool Creations Fun Fall Printables

My son wanted to make little leaf men so he glued googly eyes on some of his leaves and gave them mouths with a marker.

Leaf Preschool Theme

Today we talked about leaves.

We started off with a little nature walk on the look out for leaves that have turned colors and fallen to the ground.  It was a short field trip around the block because my little guy has a pretty bad cough right now, but we had a nice time just the same.

Here is one of many leaves we found while we were out.

Here is a fun fall leaf printable from Preschool Mom.  She has an entire collection of leaf activities.

3 Dinosaurs has a fun leaf printable pack.

This Reading Momma also has a leaf printable pack.

2 Teaching Mommie's is another source for a fun leaves theme as well.

Making Learning Fun has some fun leaf and Fall activities like these sequencing cards.

We also have these fun leaf lacing cards that I made a while back.

Mess for Less had a cute idea for using Q-tips to paint Fall leaves onto trees.  My tree is pretty sad, but my son did a great job of using the different colors with the Q-Tips.

We also did some leaf rubbings.  My son was pretty fascinated by that.
