With all the talking we’ve been doing about fall, it’s a good time to bring out the washable colors and let your child color a picture about fall. What color are the leaves outside? Can you find some crayons or paints the same colors? Piles of fall leaves on the ground are easy to recreate on the page; it’s just swirls of color. It’s the same for windy days with leaves blowing all over. Even toddlers approaching 3 years old can make color lines.
Leaf starts with the letter l. Show your 4 year old how to print the letter l. Just a straight line down. You can add the other letters. Look at that! Together you have written a word. That’s a pretty big accomplishment; it’s super exciting and great for kindergarten readiness . Leaf and letter start with the same sound, kind of an ‘ul’. Do you hear that ‘ul’ sound in the word fall? Where is it? For a leaf, fall is the end, too.
