Pumpkin Painting

This is a classic, easy and fun.

 

 For easy clean up I covered the table with brown paper, put paint on paper plates and let the creativity happen,

 

This took 20/30 min, could take longer depending on how detailed your kiddo is.

 

Eli was so proud of his pumpkin.

Small World - Fall Play

I set up some fun "small world" fall play for the kids.  I will leave it up as long as they are showing  interest.  Sometimes people ask what small world play is, and it is just a term for a pretend world of play that I create for them. 

 

First I covered the table with brown paper.  Then I set up the pumpkins in the center.  I knew I would have four sections of our fall farm.

 

Giant Pumpkin Mountian

 I placed a few guys on the mountain and a little sign that said "pumpkin mountain"

 

The fall leaf tree

I took some of our table scatter and put it around one of our lego trees, I also added a lego man and a rake.

The Pumpkin Patch

Here we have more table scatter (targets dollar bin, also great math counters) lego men, and tractor

 

 Cute little farm

Here is the farm part of the "Fall farm small world"

barn, lego animals and men

 

Around the whole "small world"  I drew a brick road.

 

I love setting these up because the kids add to it.  We started with this & currently we have Batman, green Lantern their cars and an array of super hero's playing on the farm.  Its fun to see imagination at work.

Fall Bean Leafs

 

I love the fall & I love crafts.  Every day after school we are doing some kind of craft.

 

This was our bean leaf craft.  For this I had the leaf pre-cut out of card board, an assortment of beans, and glue.

 

Then the boys got creative.

Super simple and fun.
