Fall Activities for Preschool: Free Leaf and Acorn Worksheets

Fall is full of things preschoolers love to collect: crunchy leaves, acorns, little pumpkins. You can turn every walk into a counting game and every pile of leaves into a lesson about colors. These fall activities for preschool pair three free worksheets with simple ideas for outside.

What your child practices

Counting and writing numbers with maple leaves.
Comparing groups: which group of acorns has more?
Color words: read red, orange, yellow, brown and green and color fall pictures to match.

How to use the fall pages

Count the Leaves. Count each row and write the number in the box. Younger children can say the number and you write it.
Which Has More Acorns? Count both groups and circle the bigger one. Ask "How do you know?" and let them explain.
Color the Fall Pictures. First color each circle in the key, then read the word under each picture and color it.
Bring the pages outside. Find a real leaf or acorn that matches a picture on the page.

A note on small objects

Acorns and small nature finds can be a choking hazard for young children. Stay close during sorting and counting games, and put the collection away when you're done.
