Mouses's First Fall

by

Lauren Thompson

 

     Hooray for fall.  That is what Mouse and Minka say as they venture out to play on a fall day.  They love the colors of the leaves, red, yellow, orange and brown.  They get excited about all the shapes and colors of the leaves.  They run and skip through the leaves and even pile them up and jump in them.  Even Minka hides in the leaves and Mouse has to find her.  It is a really cute and colorful fall book for young children to help them enjoy the leaves of fall.  Check one out at your local library or bookstore.  Happy Reading!!!!!

Fall

Activities, Projects, and Science Facts

by

David Webster

 

      This is a really nice book for fall projects that children can do.  It has activities, projects, and science facts about leaves, apples, pumpkins, seeds, soil, sky, bones, and a section on animals preparing for winter.  There are great projects to do with children for the fall of the year.  I am going to share one today and one on Friday.  I hope you enjoy and children would enjoy the projects in this book.

Leaf Book

from the Fall Book

by

David Webster

 

First of all collect twelve leaves from different trees around your neighborhood or park. All kinds of colors will look good in your book.

Neatly mount the leaves on sheets of paper with transparent tape.  Try to put three or four leaves on each page.

Try to label each leaf with its correct name.  You might also need a leaf book from the library for all the names.

When you have them all labeled make a cover for your book.

 

Get some construction paper in pretty fall colors and draw some leaves on the front cover.

Then staple all the pages together with the leaf pages and voila you will have a nice leaf book.

When your book is done, place it under some heavy books for several weeks to keep the leaves from curling up.

 

Hope you enjoy making your own Leaf book.  I know I did when I was a child and so did my children.  Have fun!!!
