Leaves Story Time - October 21-22, 2013

Books:
Fall Leaves Fall! by Zoe Hall *
Leaf Jumpers by Carole Gerber
Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert *
Leaves by David Ezra Stein *
The Little Yellow Leaf by Carin Berger
Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
We're Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger *

Craft: Fall Leaves Tree
The craft we made is very similar to the one pictured at left.  There were two main differences.  We used a quarter sheet of cardstock rolled and glued into a cylinder for the tree trunk rather than a toilet paper tube.  We also glued on different colored leaves instead of using finger paint.

Literacy Extensions:
- Go on a leaf hunt in your neighborhood.  See how many different types of leaves you can find.  Discuss the different colors and how they are shaped differently. (i.e. - We're Going on a Leaf Hunt)
- See what pictures you and your child can make from fallen leaves. (i.e. - Leaf Man)
