Fall is one of the best times of the year.
There’s so much to look forward to. From cooler weather to apple cider to apple picking and best of all:
The kids are back in school!
Ok, all joking aside, we really do love fall around our home. To us, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season and a time to be with family and build memories.
But there’s another type of building we’ve been doing lately that my kids just can’t seem to get enough of.
Building characters on our fall pattern block mats.
We’ve created a few different pattern block mats for kids in the past including these but to us, these fall ones are the cutest so far!
Fall Pattern Block Mats For Kids
Here’s a quick video showing my older son using these pattern block mats:
One of my favorite things about these pattern block mats is the ease of using them.
They only require a few supplies and once you’ve printed and laminated them, you’re all set!
Supplies
- Pattern blocks
- White cardstock
- Printer
- Fall Tangram Mats
- Laminator (optional, but recommended if you plan to reuse them)
- Laminating pouches (optional, but recommended if you plan to reuse them)
All you need to do to get started is print out your pattern block puzzle pages, laminate them, and let your kids go wild!
If you love low prep activities be sure to check out these fun color by number printables or these free Disney coloring pages too.
Any way you choose to use these fall tangram puzzles, I’m sure your kids will love them.
Fall Unit For Kids
Want to create an entire fall unit around these pattern block mats? If so, keep reading below to see how we would put it together!
Reading to kids is one of the best things you can do for your children!
Reading helps preschoolers develop their vocabulary, improves their literacy rate, and boosts creativity, cognitive abilities as well as social-emotional intelligence- among other benefits.
So next time you’re looking for some fun storytime activities with your little one, grab a book from your shelf and read to them! Below are some of the top fall themed books for kids.
There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Leaf: The mischievous old lady swallowed a handful of leaves! Her tummy started to rumble. So she swallowed some more items. Then even more. But as her stomach grew full, the leaves began to poke out through her mouth… when suddenly – poofffff! – it turned into a scarecrow!
Pete The Cat Falling For Autumn: Pete is not a fan of fall. But he decides to do some detective work and finds out that there are lots of things about this season he loves, like corn mazes, hayrides, wearing scarves, and apple picking! This story helps kids learn that even though they might not love every season of the year, there are still good parts to each one.
We’re Going On A Leaf Hunt: The seasons are changing, the days getting are shorter, and children everywhere are starting to make plans for their favorite outdoor adventures – and what could be more fun than a Leaf Hunt?!
Kids love to craft and it’s a great activity for them. It encourages creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and more. Here are some of our favorite fall crafts for kids:
Add in some learning with these fall printables for preschool. They’ll help kids work on fine motor skills, patterns, counting, and more.
Your little one will love these fall color by sight word printables and it’ll get them practicing their reading skills, too. It’s a great way to help your child learn new sight words in a low-pressure setting.
