Fall Preschool Unit Ideas
We often get emails from readers like you asking us if we have more ideas that can go together to make a preschool unit. This headband owl goes perfectly with fall, so we’re sharing our favorite fall crafts, activities and ideas to make a fall themed preschool unit.
To begin with try these fall printables for preschool kids or these fall worksheets for preschoolers.
These printables are great for working on a variety of concepts preschoolers are learning like:
- pre-writing practice
- patterns
- shapes
- colors
- counting
- hand-eye coordination
Plus, they’re virtually no-prep! Just download, print and get started.
We also like using these fall pattern block mats to give the kids some hands-on learning time. We recommend laminating them and setting them out from time to time for kids to work on!
If your child enjoys sensory bottles, you have to make this glittery fall leaves sensory bottle. It’s easy to make and mesmerizing to watch!
Searching for more crafts to help teach your child skills like cutting practice, using an appropriate amount of glue, and how to follow directions?
We’ve got loads of fall themed crafts! Below are a few of our favorite:
