Here comes fall
A perfect job for kids
ADDED September 25, 2009
Length: A few fun moments, any time.
Parental Involvement: Explain the idea and participate whenever you want.
Kids Should Be Able to: Find colors in the world around them. Enjoy the fall season!
Fall is here, and with fall come the colors of fall. The beautiful reds, browns and golden hues are starting to be on display everywhere! If not on trees in your neighborhood, I am sure you can find these colors in a store's windows or any elementary school classroom.
So, as you are running errands, hanging out at soccer practice or walking to school, turn your kids into fall-color-spotters. Encourage them to look for the colors that will tell us fall is here. This is an activity that even the youngest of kids can enjoy. After all, learning colors is something that is always fun!
Start by reviewing with your kids what colors you would see in fall: red, brown, gold, yellow and orange. Then review with your kids what things turn those colors: leaves, grasses and even some flowers. Once you are done, tell your kids they are official fall-color-spotters with the authority to correctly identify fall colors at all times.
Make sure your fall color spotting is fun. When you find a tree with your favorite colors (or one that is just beautiful) give it a name, and when you walk by make sure to say hi and comment on what beautiful fall colors it has on display. Just make sure everybody knows that you know that trees can't talk back!
