September is a great time to take advantage of the cooler weather and spend some time outdoors with your preschoolers. Consider planning activities such as nature walks to observe the changing leaves, scavenger hunts to collect acorns and pinecones, or outdoor picnics to enjoy the crisp fall air. These activities not only provide a fun and educational experience for the children, but also help them develop gross motor skills and an appreciation for nature.
Engage your preschoolers in creative activities that celebrate the arrival of fall. Encourage them to create leaf rubbings, apple prints, or paper plate scarecrows. These hands-on projects help develop fine motor skills, creativity, and imagination. You can also incorporate themes related to back-to-school, apples, or fall harvest to make the activities more engaging and relevant to the season.

Sensory Play
Explore different sensory experiences with your preschoolers to engage their senses and promote cognitive development. Set up sensory bins filled with items like dried corn kernels, pumpkin seeds, or fall-themed objects for them to explore. You can also create sensory bottles filled with water, glitter, and fall-colored beads for a calming and mesmerizing sensory experience. These activities help children learn through play and stimulate their curiosity and exploration.
