“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
by L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)
I love everything about autumn
the colours...the scent...pumpkin and spice
even the sounds of autumn
crunching and rustling of the leaves
so many inspirations to create a sensory bin
we started off with dried beans and lentils...glass acorn beads and beautiful felt leaves
then....we added
fall gourds and colourful cobs of corn and cinnamon sticks
so beautiful and inviting
the children love to pick at the corn cobs which then take on a whole new feel once the kernels are gone.
They scoop the beans and lentils with the tiny wooden spoons...sorting them into piles...decorating the piles with flowers and autumn glass beads.The smell of the cinnamon sticks is amazing.
Some of the books we have been enjoying this month
Listen Listen is full of beautiful illustrations depicting seasonal activities and scenes throughout.
Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert is a favourite
More on this one soon after our walk to collect leaves from the storm we had this weekend.
I can hardly wait to see the creations that the children come up with
I love the illustrations in Helen Cooper's
book....Pumpkin Soup
a heart warming story of friendship...sharing...and solving a problem
lovely details throughout
We will be making pumpkin soup after our trip out to the pumpkin farm next week
come back soon to see all of our leaf man art and to
"taste" our pumpkin soup
perhaps there will be a recipe.
