Fall Leaves Fall!

I decided to write about another fall book today.  This is one that I found at the library and paired with an art project for my toddler.

Fall Leaves Fall! by Zoe Hall is all about many people's favorite season... FALL!  The book starts out with the season changing from summer to fall. It is the perfect book for the beginning of fall because it reminds you of all the fun things you can do with leaves!  You can collect leaves, rake leaves, crunch leaves and of course jump in piles of leaves!  The words are so simple and the paper cut out illustrations paint a scene that goes right along with the words.  They are so detailed that this book can spark great conversations about fall.

To get even more in the fall mood here is a little art activity that goes along with the book.

Materials
- Paper
- Brown, yellow, orange, red and green paint
- paint brush

1) Paint the bottom of your child's foot and press onto the middle of the paper.
2) Paint the palm of your child's hand and press onto the paper at the top of the foot.
3) Let your child dip their fingertip into the different fall colors of paint and press onto the hand print.  This will make the leaves of the trees.

Here is what you will get! My kiddo had such a great time painting that he wanted to make two!

What are some of your favorite reading and art projects?

Happy Reading!
