🎃October in a preschool room moves fast. This harvest packet gives you a short, printable activity for almost every school day in the month, built around the things little ones already notice outside: pumpkins, apples, acorns, falling leaves and the owl on the fence.
You'll check out and download on Teachers Pay Teachers. Prices there may include a sale.
The Preschool October Harvest Packet is a month of short, printable fall lessons for children aged roughly three to five. It covers the early math and literacy skills most Pre-K and TK programs target in October, wrapped in a harvest theme of pumpkins, apples, acorns, falling leaves and a friendly owl.
Math work focuses on the numbers 6 to 10. Each number gets its own page where children trace the numeral, trace the number word, color the matching set of pictures and fill a ten frame, so they see the same quantity four different ways. Earlier numbers are reviewed on a 1 to 5 page, and count-and-dot and cut-and-paste pages build one-to-one correspondence.
On the literacy side, the packet introduces the letters E, F, G and H with tracing, writing and dot-to-dot letter paths, then checks first sounds from A to H. Two early sight words, "is" and "the", appear in a cut-and-paste activity and in simple I Can Read! sentences, giving young learners an early taste of reading on their own.
Thinking and fine motor pages round out the month: patterns, match the other half, which one is different, color by number, an A to Z pumpkin dot-to-dot, cutting practice and a pencil path to the pumpkin. Seasonal pages about fall clothing, the color orange and stop, drop and roll fit neatly into Fire Prevention Week.
A 4-week study plan maps out one or two pages per day, so you can print a week at a time and know exactly what comes next. All 34 activity pages are black and white with large pictures and roomy writing spaces, designed for small hands and quick classroom copying.
