UK colours of Autumn poster - Autumn leaf activities

With the leaves starting to turn into the rich colours of autumn we took off to collect a few..

COLOURS OF UK AUTUMN photo and Colors of Fall

Please click the preview images to open full sized reouces in new windows.


Ways to use the photo:
Colour recognition: pick out the green, red, yellows & browns of Autumn.
Lay a piece of tracing paper over the top and see if the children can identify the coloured areas and fill with their own colours - crrayons or other mark making tools.
Have autumn coloured playdough, a rolling pin and some leaf shape cutters. Use the photo laminated and build own leaf fall image on top.
Use as an autumn place mat, sorting sheets or room sign.
Talk about what animals / creatures would like to ruffle through autumn leaves - we saw 3 squirrels on our hunt for these!! slugs, snails, dogs, hedgehogs, rabbits ?



Build a role play woodland with your leaf collection - silkysteps Bouncy squirrel mini topic £2.50

Leafy Lucky Dip fantastic idea from joshie thankyou

Leaf creatures - Use your collection of leaves to make weird and wonderful creatures! ask the children what body parts their creature/monster has and use a black marker to add facial features.

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf Written by Lois Ehlert is a perfect accompaniment to these Leafy activities.
