Fall Leaves

by

Mary Packard

 

 

   This book is a Kindergarten-First grade book.  It has wonderful illustrations and just a few words on each page about fall leaves.  It would be a great book to teach young children about leaves and a great first reading book.  It also has activity pages at the end of the book that you could do with your child after you read the book.  It is a book young children would enjoy.

Fall

I thought I would share another activity out of this  book that I shared about on Wednesday.  This activity I thought both boys and girls would enjoy.  It is making a leaf monster. :)

 

 

First, collect colorful leaves of different shapes and then paste them to a piece of paper in the shape of a monster. Find a nice large leaf for the head and one for the body.  Use some seeds or tiny leaves for a face.  Glue them on.  The kids will come up with all kinds of monsters.  When the monster is finished put it between newspaper and under some heavy books for a week or two and then hang it up.  A really cute fall decoration.

The Colors of Fall

by

Jerry and Marcy Monkman

 

   This is a great fall road trip book if you live in the New England area or the Appalachians.  Also, if you are planning a fall trip to see the beautiful fall trees. The authors even give GPS coordinates for areas  in the book.  They give interesting places to visit for each road trip and how long to get there .  It would be a great book to have if you were planning a trip to New England or the Appalachians.  They also tell you the peak seasons to see the best fall foliage.  The book is full of beautiful pictures of fall foliage, lakes, and waterfalls.  I have decided a trip to New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine should be on my list of places to go and the fall of the year would be the perfect time to go.  Check out this book and see where you would like to go and enjoy the beautiful pictures.  Personally, I can't wait for the leaves to change here in Missouri too. 

 

 



 

 

 

Have a great weekend and I will see you again on Monday.  Happy Reading and Happy Fall.
