Why Read Picture Books About Fall?
The smell of cinnamon, pumpkins everywhere, and warm cozy sweaters mean fall has arrived. The changing of the seasons from summer to fall means a plethora of reasons to grab picture books and read.
With the cooler weather, you can take time to explore the outdoors in conjunction with your stories. Take time to sit under a tree and read one of these fall books for kids.
Let the stories spark their imagination with all of the things they are observing outside.
Apples reach their peak season during autumn. Who doesn’t love the story of Johnny Appleseed or learning to bake an apple pie?
Don’t forget to serve up some warm apple cider on those cool crisp days!
Pumpkins are also a fall staple. It’s the perfect time of year to plan all kinds of fall activities around pumpkins, such as this pumpkin counting activity. Continue your exploration with fun pumpkin picture books to capture your student’s imagination.
Fun stories about jack-o-lanterns, making pumpkin soup, and even let them discover how other things may look like pumpkins but are, in fact, not a pumpkin.
Fall means lots of opportunities to read books and then getting to taste all the fall goodies you can make with apples and pumpkins, like our pumpkin chocolate chip pancake muffins.
We have even more year round kids activity ideas, so be sure to check those out!
