Keep the towels damp over the next few days. Watch the acorns sprout. Observe the acorns with a magnifying lens. Place the acorns in potting soil in individual cups. Fall Sensory Box Materials: Leaves, acorns, pine cones, nuts, apples, and other things found on nature walk. You'll need a box the children can fit their hands into without seeing inside. Put the objects in the box. Have them take turns feeling inside the box. Ask them to describe what he or she feels and what they think it is. Talk about what animals do during Fall in order to prepare for the upcoming winter weather. Open and Closed Pinecone Place a pinecone in a plastic bag and add a small amount of water to the bag. Let set for 24 hours. The next morning, the pinecone will be closed. Take the pinecone out and place it in the sun. After it dries, it will open back up. Fall Smells Go on a smell walk outside. Smell leaves, trees, etc. Place some objects in a box. With her eyes closed, have her pick up and object and try to identify it by its smell. Soak a cotton ball in a scent. Hide it in the house. Have her walk around and try to find it by sniffing. Make fall potpourri on the stove - cloves, allspice, cinnamon, vanilla Crafts Draw a tree, cut an apple in half and dip in paint, stamp on tree. Cut the apples the day before you will use them for printing. Also, it is helpful to put the paint on a piece of paper towel in a tray. It becomes more like a stamp pad and the apples print better. Dried Apple Wreaths. Cut a wreath shape from cardboard. Glue dried apples rings around the wreath overlapping them. Gather some dried flowers & leaves to fill in the wreath. Add a bow at the top if you like. Scarecrow Fun
