It’s Thanksgiving time! One book that I’ve always found to engage preschoolers’ favorite books is Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So I wrote this fun Thanksgiving felt board story that invokes the same storyline with a Thanksgiving theme. It’s a great way to help preschoolers practice colors and have fun through a new rendition of a familiar …
Halloween is fast approaching and I’m struggling to cram in all those fun activities I’ve jotted down in my ratty composition notebook. This activity, making caramel apple scented homemade playdough was one of them. Caramel apples are symbolic of fall for us. A trip to the local pumpkin patch isn’t complete without one of their yummy, sticky …
It’s getting close to Halloween!! I love this holiday because it affords so much in terms of creative and imaginative activities for kids. There are so many great resources to find fun activities for kids during the Halloween season. Here are a few of them that have free printables to use with kids. Halloween is …
Fall is my favorite season. So when those leaves start changing my brain starts turning with things that we can do to make the most of the season. I know we’re going to have a ton of fun celebrating this season in our Toddler Playschool. Many of the activities listed in this free Letter L lesson plan printable incorporate …
Fall is my favorite season, hands down. The colors, the smells, the sounds…. It’s all so amazing to me. I like to change our sensory bin for the seasons or based on whatever theme we are currently learning about. So being able to create a fall sensory bin for the kids to explore is always …
Not all kids (or parents) enjoy the pumpkin carving process. Children with autism or sensory processing disorders find it uncomfortable. Parents find it too messy. I totally get it. I honestly don’t enjoy the squishy-guishy feeling of pulling out the innards of a pumpkin. That’s why I put together this collection of no carve pumpkin …
Well, we did something a little bit different today. I got a new sensory bin set up and the mood struck me to share it with you all… right then and there. So off to Facebook I went and did a live video. If you missed it, you can watch it here. Don’t forget to …
Fall is amazing in that leaves provide such a wide opportunity for activities with children. When we were coming out of my son’s preschool the other day, we found two HUGE leaves blowing in the wind. So we chased them down and took them home to use for art. We ended up deciding to make leaf people …
I totally forgot that we even made this! I was digging through the archives and found this from back in 2011. It’s a fall card that we made using our handprints cut out of fall-themed paper. I set up the fall themed picture, then uploaded the shot to a photo-editing site to create the photo card. You can see …

Fall is a time for lots of family gatherings, the beautiful change of the leaves, and of course, yummy food! Bear {5 yrs} and I haven’t done a food project together in awhile, so when we …
