Activities for Fall Learning
Fall is a great time to learn about nature. The season change creates a magical atmosphere that inspires curiosity in what is happening in the outside world. The leaves are changing and leaving a colourful blanket outside that make the outdoors seem like a completely new world to experience. Here are some of our favourite ways to learn about fall.
Discover Nature
With so many kids buried in their screens, Fall is a great time for kids to get out side and learn about science & nature. With all the incredible changes happening right in front of them, children get a visual representation of what can be a difficult subject to comprehend. Encourage your children to get outside, get dirty and learn more about the world around them. Plants, leaves and various stone types are a great way to educate children about their local wildlife. Have them hunt for as many leaves and plants as they can, and then use their matching skills to find the type of tree they came from.
A dual lens magnifier is a great tool to get your kids out and learning about nature.

Using models such as cross section flower models and earth science kits such as the crystal earth science kit are great ways to help educate children more about what they find whilst playing in nature and learn more at home. There is also a range of products at Scholar's Choice that can help educate children whilst in nature or learning about science & nature
The nature of Fall offers a wide range of ways to reinforce other lessons like colours, math, insects and bug habitats, the life cycle of nature and nutrient cycling through composting.
Fall Themed Crafts
A great aspect of Fall is all the free craft supplies! Leaves, pine-cones, sticks and so many more materials literally grow on trees! Use all these materials and more to create some fun Fall themed crafts! Many traditional crafts are still just as fun and educational as they were years ago; Leaf rubbings, pine-cone bird feeders and pine-cone stamping. Even an ordinary rock can become an inspiring fall craft that kids can leave around the school yard.
