Simple Fall Craft Ideas for Preschoolers and Kindergarten Children. Learning Through Art and Learning Through Play is the Munchkin Place way!
One of our favorite things to do at Munchkin Place is adventure. Many of the crafts below require an adventure outdoors to gather Fallen Leaves. Fabric or Paper leaves can be used if Fallen Leaves are not available in your area.
Early Learning Bonus Tip:
While collecting leaves with your Children or Students count how many leaves that they have gathered.
Make it even more fun by encouraging your Munchkin/Munchkins to use their big voice to loudly call out the colors of the leaves. To include an extra Fun Educational step prior to beginning to craft sort the leaves into bins by color upon returning to school or home. Then count the amount of the gathered treasure in each bin.

Munchkin Place recommends using a non toxic glue stick to complete this craft. Why a glue stick and not white school glue, one may wonder. Glue sticks are fantastic tools to help develop children's fine motor skills.
The gripping of the glue stick, amount of pressure that must be applied to get desired results are a stepping stone to learn how to grip a writing instrument and successfully use the force needed for good penmanship.
