Fall Activities

Fall is in the air! What a great time to bring Mother Nature into our Montessori classrooms. Better yet, let’s take the children outside to explore all the wonders that the fall season brings.

Finding colorful, fallen leaves always seems like a new event although repeated every year. There is something always amazingly exciting about the anticipation and search for beautiful leaves. Teaching leaf/tree identification is an interesting aspect of Montessori Botany study.

Various teaching materials and art activities are integrated into our daily Montessori program. Leaf rubbing is one of the all time favorites. Combined with real leaves, we incorporate these authentically designed leaf rubbing templates to further enhance an awareness of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
