Fall Leaves poem

A quick and easy fall literacy resource for you!  I borrowed the Fall Leaves poem from this blog.  I used diecuts to make the leaves.  The combination of writing the numerals, having the color word written in the color that it is, and the number of leaves out to the side seemed to help the four-year-olds read it with me after we practiced a few times.  Once it was finished I laminated it and put in on the board (second picture).

Kitty Pumpkin

I saw this All You Magazine at the store the other day, and I thought this cover was too cute!  Love the small pumpkins transformed into kittens.  Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to recreate either.

 

Spider embroidery

I got this long sleeved purple Halloween shirt from Goodwill the other day.  I just love the design, and I think it would be fun to try to embroider a web similar to this some day.  The picture doesn't show it very well, but the web is sparkly silver.  It's a bit wrinkled. Oops.

 

 

I'm not much into the ghouls, witches, and Jack O'Lantern shirts at Halloween, so I was glad to find something like this.  I also enjoy a good owl or bat Halloween shirt.
