Workshop Wednesday

My favorite season is here! I LOVE fall. I love the colors, sounds, smells, and most of all the cooler days. Today's activity, "Fall Trees", can be used as a small group activity or in centers and can easily be played by just one child or by two children.

Materials: Print the Roll A Fall Tree game from Play2LearnPrintables. Laminate the dice directions card. The tree (using the template) can be made from construction paper, poster board or brown craft foam.  The leaves can be made from the pattern, leaf die cuts, or foam leaves. Just make sure you use the correct colors. You will also need a container (tray, Ziploc bag, basket) for the game.

Directions: To play the child must roll the die and get a "6" to get the tree.  Then they add colored leaves as directed by future rolls of the die.  Place 2 of each color of leaf in a separate container.  See picture below.

Here is what the tree would look like when full of leaves. 

You could change this activity by having the children roll the die and add that number of leaves to the tree, regardless of color. There are many ways to use this activity. Adapt it to meet the needs of your children and have fun!
