Scarecrow Story Topper Craft

Our Scarecrow Story Topper Craft is the perfect blend of art and writing. Students get to build their own adorable scarecrow using either color, cut, and glue pieces or construction paper templates. Once their scarecrow is complete, they can attach it to a writing page to create:

• A fall story
• An opinion about fall
• A response to a fall-themed writing prompt
• A seasonal classroom display

This activity supports creativity while also encouraging young writers to practice handwriting, sentence structure, and storytelling skills.

📖Pair this craft with the read-aloud “The Scarecrow” by Beth Ferry or “The Little Scarecrow Boy” by Margaret Wise Brown.

Fall Leaves Math Craft

Math becomes extra fun and colorful with our Fall Leaves Math Craft. Students work on counting or addition equations with leaves—coloring, cutting, and gluing them into place. The bright colors of fall make it visually engaging while reinforcing important early math concepts like:

• Counting objects
• Building number sense
• Number formation
• Understanding equations

Plus, these make a beautiful fall bulletin board or hallway display once finished!

📖Pair this craft with the read-aloud “We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt” by Steve Metzger or “Counting On Fall” by Lizann Flatt.

Parts of the Apple Craft

Fall is apple season, which makes the Parts of the Apple Craft a perfect science tie-in. Students build and label their own apple using cut-and-glue pieces or construction paper templates. While crafting, they learn the vocabulary for each apple part:

• Stem
• Core
• Leaf
• Skin
• Flesh
• Seeds

This craft helps young learners connect science content with hands-on practice, making it easier to remember new vocabulary.

📖Pair this craft with the read-aloud “Apples for Everyone” by Jill Esbaum or “The Apple Pie Tree” by Zoe Hall.
