Celebrate Fall: Song, Handprint Trees, and Leaves Walk
Song: "Pretty Leave" (Tune of London Bridge)
Pretty leaves are falling down,
falling down,
falling down,
Pretty leaves are falling down,
Down to the ground.
Art: Handprint Trees
Paint your child's hand with fall colors of red yellow and orange. Make a bunch of handprints on white paper. Let them dry then cut them out and glue them onto a brown construction paper trunk, making a fall tree.

Science/Art: Fall Leaves Walk
Take your child on a walk around your neighborhood or park and have them gather different colored leaves that have fallen to the ground. Take them home and make a collage out of them or cover them with clear contact paper so you and your child can enjoy them all year long.
