Colorful corn kernels picked by little fingers or tweezers.



Pouring, scooping, and tonging with containers reflecting the beautiful colors of autumn.

Cutting and collage work.

Science activities including a study of leaves and turtles.




This is an easy activity to make: Just color copy a variety of leaves and laminate the actual leaf to match to the picture.




Other science activities include a study of magnets.
