Fall with Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert

As we are right in the middle of some very fall-like weather, all the teachers at school have been doing fall-themed activities. I took this opportunity to introduce some new fall vocabulary to my preschoolers: Apple, pumpkin, leaf, tree, scarecrow, and wind. 

After introducing the words, I shared this GORGEOUS book. Each illustrated page features a design of animals, rivers and orchards made entirely of autumn leaves. 

Afterward, we pretended to be leaves blowing in the wind. Each time I called a different fall word and the students pretended to be them. It was good practice for the words I introduced earlier.
To finish, we went on a leaf hunt outside and made our own leaf men - making sure they had heads, arms, legs, stomachs, and hands and feet. Students really loved this activity and felt very inspired by the book.
