Celebrating Fall with Tots and Preschoolers

Fall is our favorite season. We love the weather, the season change, wearing sweaters and especially Fall activities and flavors. Here is a compilation of eight things that we love to do during Fall. We hope you find this fun list helpful and useful. 

This is my first guest post over at ALLterNATIVElearning blog and I am very excited to share it with you. Read on to get some ideas and inspiration during this wonderful season.

2 Fun Pumpkin Crafts for Tots and Preschoolers

We had such a fun time today making these two crafts! They were so fun, so easy and SO INEXPENSIVE! You should take a look and give them a try.

How to Occupy Little Ones with Homeschooling

Greetings Natural Homeschool readers!

I am Brenda from Schooling a Monkey. I have two daughters, aged 8 (Monkey) and nearly 2 (Bo). My oldest daughter, Monkey, is in third grade.

Since Monkey is in third grade, she is in school for several hours each day. We try to arrange most of her school to occur during nap time, but on the days that Bo takes a short nap, or doesn’t nap at all, we’ve had to come up with alternative activities to keep Bo occupied while Monkey and I do school.

Our Sweet Playroom Makeover

I am so happy that you are here to look at our playroom makeover! We are so proud and we are really loving it.

 

Our playroom used to be cluttered, full of tiny trinkets that made big messes and toys that never got played with. It was exhausting to go these two routes to get it cleaned:

1. Nag and nag to get it all picked up

                or

2. Take forever to get it cleaned and organized myself

Some of Our Favorite Fall Books

Fall is definitely our favorite season. We love the weather, the season change, the leaves falling, the cinnamon smells, the pumpkin flavors, the celebrations... in other words, we love everything!
To make Fall even more special, we go to our local library to pick some seasonal books. Every year, without fail, we are able to add more books to our "Fall Favorites" list. Here are some that made it on the list. We are only showing you the ones that we absolutely loved and enjoyed reading together.

 

Our Favorite Potty Learning Books

We are there...we have made it to this point: the potty learning process. Eek! So bittersweet! I remember when my little girl was so tiny, how cute she looked in her pink cloth diapers and how convenient it was (mostly) to have a little one in diapers. I also remember the stinky diaper pail, the washing/folding process of the cloth diapers and daydreaming of having a diaper-less home. Read on...
