Kids Events 17 Early Literacy Tips

Go on a nature walk with your child and collect different leaves. 1 Consult a leaf book so you can identify the type of leaf! Take a trip to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch. Pick some treats to take home and browse a few cookbooks for recipe ideas. Caramel apples and baked pumpkin seeds are 2 especially easy to make! Make a list of fall-themed chores, such as raking leaves. Create a chore chart where your child can either star or check off the chores as they finish them. 3 Don’t forget to jump in the leaves once you have raked them into piles!

Build your own scarecrow with some old clothes. Put him up in your yard, give him a name and create a backstory for him. Where 4 is he from? What kinds of adventures has he had?

Help your child create a list of all the things they are thankful for to share at Thanksgiving dinner. Bonus if 5 the list includes illustrations!
