Burnham Bunch: Fall Leaves

Fall/Autumn/Leaves

Read: Footballs and Falling Leaves by Rebecca Fjelland Davis, The Autumn Leaf by Carl Emerson and Mouse's First Fall by Lauren Thompson

Story extender/ Story board: Using Footballs and Falling Leaves as prompt I or children add a story-piece as the book progresses.

Craft: Sticky-back paper leaves

• Need: Sticky-back paper, tissue paper (red, yellow, brown, orange). Leaf template.
• Prior to storytime, I cut tissue paper into pieces and separate into baskets by color. Tape sticky-back paper to leaf template and then tape to the craft table.

• Have children choose colors and adhere them to the magic sticky paper. Instruct them to raise their hand when finished to be dismissed from the table for free play.
• While they are playing, fold the other half of sticky-back over the tissue-crafted side and then cut around template.
