This was my favorite story and activity. Leaf Man is such a fun book that the kids loved. We made our own leaf men creations.
​We discussed body parts, colors, and bigger and smaller leaves.

Scarecrows

A book that I LOVE for my 3 year olds, Sam the Scarecrow. We talked about a scarecrows job, what crows are, and being scary. We even practiced making scary faces. Very simple book. Highly recommend.

These 3 books are some I used with my 4 year olds. Jeb Scarecrow's Pumpkin Patch is a bit long, but still good. There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves is great for sequencing. The Little Scarecrow Boy is just a cute story.

3 Year Olds 

I found this simple poem for my 3 year olds. I read it, they repeated it, then they matched the article of clothing with the color on the poem. Then we made our own scarecrow puppets. After assembling them we pointed to the clothing items on our own puppets.
