Ideas for the Seasons: AUTUMN

Consider how you could explore the classic images of each season, and focus on using all of your senses. It should be a really rich and joyful main lesson!

Brainstorm ideas for the season of AUTUMN:

read And the Good Brown Earth by Kathy Henderson and brainstorm images of Autumn

dye wool yarn with acorns and/or black walnuts (you can also collect the black walnuts and freeze them whole to use later in dyes)

make Felt Wee Folk or flower fairies with acorn cap hats

do Positive / Negative Art of apples and pears

make Crockpot Applesauce

read Spiders Spin Webs by Yvonne Winer; do spider web artwork using an oil pastel and watercolor resist

read The Pumpkin Giant and make Chalk Stenciled Pumpkins

make Chai-Infused Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (I double the pumpkin puree)

read "Migration" poem from Creatures of Earth, Sea, and Sky by Georgia Heard, page 15; go birdwatching

read I Like To Be Little or Say It! by Charlotte Zolotow; take a nature walk; make Shaving Cream Marbled Leaves
