Pool of fallen leaves
When you think of pools, you think of summer—but how about making a “leaf pool” by gathering lots of leaves instead of water? It’s easy to make if you collect the leaves in bags while cleaning, so I highly recommend it.
Dive into the leaf pool, or scoop up armfuls of leaves and toss them up into the sky.
Kids are geniuses at play, so they’re sure to come up with fun new ways to enjoy it!
Fallen leaf art
When summer ends and autumn arrives, many leaves that have turned red and yellow fall from the trees.
How about using those fallen leaves to create wonderful “leaf art”? You could gather lots of them and make a big picture outside, or bring home a few favorite leaves and paste them onto drawing paper to make your own artwork.
There’s no single right way to make art! Instead of just looking, it’s great to experience autumn for yourself like this.
It’s also fun to prepare a large sheet of paper and work together with many people to create one big picture.
I can’t wait to see what kinds of works you’ll make!
Leaf stamp
Autumn is the season when countless leaves color the ground at your feet.
How about enjoying stamp art using small leaves, large leaves, leaves that are dry and crisp, or ones that have turned red and yellow? If the leaves are dirty, wipe them clean before using.
Paint the leaves with paint mixed on the thicker side with just a little water, then press them firmly onto drawing paper.
Stamp away in vibrant colors that evoke autumn leaves.
It also sounds fun to gather leaves together with the children.
In conclusion
We introduced autumn activities to enjoy with children. Games that use natural materials from autumn and activities that get their bodies moving are perfect for November childcare programs. Through a variety of activities that can also be enjoyed indoors, children’s rich expressive abilities and creativity are fostered. Let the play at daycare centers and kindergartens create wonderful memories that will stay in children’s hearts.
