Amazing Autumn Activities for Preschoolers!

Amazing autumn activities for preschoolers

Who else loves brisk mornings, toasty afternoons, and sunsets that glow unusually bright? That’s right. I’m talking about the fall season, and I can’t be the only one raising my hand!

Fall feels magical to me.

What with the bright foliage, the way the earth smells like the soil, the sudden on-set of chamomile tea and light sweaters…I just love autumn. And I also love doing fall activities with my preschoolers, too.

And time seems to slow down a little bit, doesn’t it? Or maybe it speeds up because autumn is the one time of year I have a bucket list of activities for my preschoolers and family. So many memories to build. So many traditions to enjoy.

So, let’s have some fun! You’ve got to check out these lists of autumn activities for preschoolers.

It’s ever-growing, so be sure to save this page so you can return to it year after year for your lesson planning.

Fine Motor Autumn Activities for Preschoolers

With each new theme, I try to incorporate a few fine motor activities that are also thematic. Preschoolers love it when everything is theme-based. It really helps them explore a mile deep, rather than just an inch. (I talk more about that here).

So scroll through some of these super fun fall activities that will encourage fine motor development.

Process Art Autumn Activities for Preschoolers

There are few things better than autumn process art for preschoolers. You get to select the more vibrant colors on the pallet and preschoolers love to mix those colors to mimic what they discover in nature.

From the very basic autumn process art for toddlers to creating fall paper plates wreaths, this is where you will find the best autumn process art activities, and maybe even a few simple fall crafts, too.
