Fall Toilet Paper Roll Activities

Here are a few Fall activities from the past that we really enjoyed. 

Hard to believe Fall is right around the corner.

Fall Tree Toilet Paper Roll

Tree Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, green card stock, red, yellow & brown paint

Begin by cutting out a large tree top shape from your green paper.  This is a great project for younger children just getting familiar with using scissors because there isn't any intricate cutting needed.

Paint some brown, yellow and red dots onto your tree top.  We used the paint daubers instead of regular paints.

Book Suggestion: Leaves Fall Down was a delightfully entertaining and educational book that my kids loved.  It's a must read for the fall season.

Paper Towel Roll Fall Tree

 Fall Tree Supply List: 1 paper towel roll, leaves, scissors, glue, sheet of green cardstock, red, yellow & brown paint

 Begin by painting your paper towel roll brown.

 Use the red, brown & yellow paints to make prints on the cardstock.  These will be your fallen leaves.

Cut 8-10 slits on one end of your paper towel roll.  These should go down about 1/3 of the way.

Bend the pieces of paper towel roll back and glue leaves to the ends.

Glue your paper towel roll tree to the cardstock and allow to dry.

Book Suggestion: Another favorite by Lois Ehlert, Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf examines the life of a sugar maple tree through the eyes of a child.  The striking pictures are delightful and a wonderful book for the fall.

Chicka Chicka 1 2 3 Tree

So yesterday I showed you the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom alphabet tree that we made.  You could easily adapt it to be a number tree as well.  We used larger circles for our numbers and I let Cole use stickers so he could put the numbers on the tree by himself.

Book Suggestion: In Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 all the numbers race to the top of the apple tree.  It is a good way for kids to learn numbers and sequencing.  It is also a great way to introduce counting by 10s. The Chicka Chicka books are so much fun to read over and over and over again.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Cardboard Tube Tree

 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree: 1 toilet paper roll, brown & green construction paper, glue stick, scissors, small construction paper circles

 Cut the brown construction paper and glue it to the toilet paper roll.  A lot of the time I use a hair rubber band to hold the paper in place while the glue dries.

 Write the letters of the alphabet on the small circles.

 Cut palm leaves out of the green construction paper and glue your letters onto them.

 Cut small slits into your toilet paper roll and slide the palm leaves down into the slits.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a great book that introduces children to all the letters of the alphabet as they climb up and fall back down the coconut tree.  We have a copy of the book that Cole uses with our LeapFrog® Tag Reading System.  Here is a little video of him reading with the Tag.
