Last week I made a bunch of paper leaves for the Noodle to toss around inside. So simple! All you need are leaves, crayons, card stock and scissors. Make a basic leaf rubbing and cut it out. You are done!
Turkey Day Cards
We try to get a mailing out to our family for each holiday. For the cousins this year, classic turkey cards. Inside each card reads, "We are thankful for you!"
Autumn Songs and Rhymes

Autumn Wind
Autumn winds begin to blow. (blow)
Colored leaves fall fast and slow. (move fast, move slow)
Twirling, whirling all around. (spin around)
‘Til at last they touch the ground. (fall to the ground)
Colored leaves fall fast and slow. (move fast, move slow)
Twirling, whirling all around. (spin around)
‘Til at last they touch the ground. (fall to the ground)
Little Leaves (sung to tune of Ten Little Indians)
One little, two little, three little leaves.
four little, five little, six little leaves.
Seven little, eight little, nine little leaves.
Ten little leaves fall down
Autumn Leaves (sung to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down)
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down,
Autumn leaves are falling down, welcome fall.
Sweep the leaves and put them here, put them put here, put them here,
Sweep the leaves and put them here, welcome fall.
Jump right in and have some fun, have some fun, have some fun,
Jump right in and have some fun, welcome fall.
Jingle Jangle Scarecrow
(begin crouched on floor)
When all the cows are sleeping
and the sun has gone to bed.
Up jumped the scarecrow and this is what he said. (jump up)
I'm a jingle jangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat.
I can shake my hands like this, and shake my feet like that. (shake hands and feet)
(return to crouched position)
When all the hens are roosting
and the moon's behind the clouds
Up jumped the scarecrow and shouted very loud. (jump up)
I'm a jingle jangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this, and shake my feet like that. (shake hands and feet)
Autumn Leaves (sung to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down)

Jump right in and have some fun, have some fun, have some fun,

What Witches Do
I am a big fan of our felt board, but finding stories that easily translate to felt can take a bit of digging. The poem What Witches Do is perfect for Hallowen. This is a little late in coming but good to remember next year!
What Witches Do
(Begin with witch with no hat on plain felt board)
The witches don their pointed hats, (place hat on witch)
The witches croak and croon.
The witches ride their broomsticks,
Away beyond the moon. (place moon with witch outline)
The witches don their flowing cloaks,
The witches stir their brew. (add cauldron)
The witches chant their magic spells,
All the dark hours through.
The witches stroke their big black cats, (add black cat)
They comb their locks of gray.
Yet when the first faint daylight comes, (add sun)
The witches hide away. (pull witches off board)
