My boys and I came home from a beautiful fall hike to find the perfect surprise on our doorstep! Friends had dropped by a kit for making simple (and delicious) pumpkin cookies!
Pumpkin Treats for Fall
I’ve mentioned before, and I’ll mention many times again: I love fall! The sight, the sound, the smell, and yes, the taste!
The Artful Year: Autumn
I love fall! The crispness, the colors, all of it! Most of all, I love that it is traditionally a time of celebration and a time to gather as families. It is a perfect time for building memorable scenes for our children. Whether is coming together to bake a special treat or to decorate for the holidays, our children build not only fine motor skills and creative abilities, but they build family ties and a sense of place in the process.
In my experience blogging I have been blessed to meet many amazing women. Jean Vant Hul of the Artful Parent is one of them. She is absolutely lovely and gracious. And she is splendidly talented.
The Perfect Playdough for Fall!
I’m so excited to be starting up the ecourse today, but I also wanted to share this guest post I have over at The Organized Parent. It really is my favorite playdough! Just smelling it puts me in a good mood!
Oh, What Do You Do in the Autumn Time?
As I’m watching the leaves turn bright red on the mountain near my home, I thought I should share some of my favorite fall activities. I listed study themes for fall, and accompanying activities over here. Just to highlight a few of my personal favorites that I can’t wait to get into our activity line up:
Fall Leaves and Gingersnaps! (Recipe at Bottom!)
We went on one of my favorite fall outings today! Armed with a great book, some craft supplies, and a pile of snacks, we headed up the canyon near our house to explore fall in one of its best displays!
Weekend Reads 9/25/10 – More Fall Fun!
I’ve mentioned before how much I love fall! It may be my favorite season!(My condolences to those of you living in less seasonal areas. Though you can remind me how nice 70 degrees feels when I’m buried in snow for three months.) I’ve linked before to some of my favorite fall activities, but I’ve come across some new favorites over the last little while, and wanted to share them all here!
Part of what makes fall so magical is that you know it won’t last forever! This article at Life as Mom reminds us to take advantage of those fabulous fall traditions before it’s too late!
Preschool Themes: A Few Favorites for Fall
Even though our air conditioner is still running, I know fall has nearly arrived. I really think it is my favorite season (in spite of the fact that two of my pregnancies began in the fall and I still associate that first brisk day with a hint of nauseousness).
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons- Don’t Just Listen, Get Up and Move!
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has always been one of my favorite musical works. This program music is so beautiful and powerful, but also so descriptive, you can literally see in your mind and feel in your bones what Vivaldi is trying to describe with his music. (And if you aren’t sure what he’s trying to describe, check out these sonnets Vivaldi wrote to correspond with his music.) Because the music is so suggestive of movement, it’s perfect for a music and movement activity with children!
