Fall Printable Books for Kids

I love little printable books for kids. There seem to be books on just about every theme you can think of that people have made, and they allow kids to practice a little bit of vocabulary/reading, number recognition, color recognition or other skills depending on the subject.

I usually throw a book or two into my activity roundups, but there are so many cute emergent reader books for fall that I thought it was worth having a whole post just for them.

Real Life at Home has a cute printable book about the colors of fall, which kids can color as they learn about red, orange, yellow, green, blue and other colors (the printable is seven pages and can be assembled into a mini book).

Primary Games has a printable mini book that’s also about colors, but in this case all the colors are related to fall leaves. Kids can color the leaves and practice writing the color words.

Yet another colors of fall printable book is available from Mrs. Jones’ Creation Station. You can fill up your coloring area with all of these super cute books to help kids learn their colors. This one also has space for writing the color word where kids can trace the letters.

You can find a couple of different fall-themed mini books at 1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 1. These books can be printed in color or black and white so kids can just read them or color and read.

And if you’re looking for a counting printable book with a little bit of a Halloween twist, check out this one from Crystal and Comp. It includes numbers from one to 10 and allows kids to see the digits, count and color the items on the page, and trace the number word as they go. Plus it’s really cute.

Summer Reading Printables and Tips for Parents

Holidays are a great time to pull in some themed STEM projects. Even kids who aren’t usually into science can get excited about making a reindeer fly or making a Christmas tree out of 3D shapes. Check out these fun Christmas STEM activities to try in your classroom or at home.

Speaking of making reindeer fly, there are lots of different takes on this engineering challenge. In the instructions from The Educator’s Spin on it, kids make a reindeer from recycled materials, then use a string to make it “fly.” You can also do this with a balloon, like in this version from Team Cartwright.

And that Christmas tree project? That one is from Steamsational, and it calls for making a bunch of 3D triangles you then assemble into a tree. The post includes all the tips you’ll need and a printable template for making the triangles.

Another cute idea from Steamsational is making Santa’s sleigh out of an egg carton. Give kids design challenges such as that Santa must stay in the sleigh, it should be able to move and pull weight. It’s so fun to see what kids come up with.

Science Sparks has a printable book full of Christmas-themed experiments with templates kids can cut out and use to make spinning sleighs, shadow puppets, a paper tube to test how much weight it can hold and more. These activities are really low prep beyond the printing, so they’re great when you need to fill a little time at home or at school.

If you have Legos and jingle bells you can make a simple engineering challenge by having kids build mazes that the bells can roll through. Get the details from Innovation Kids Lab. (And check out this fun book of Lego Christmas ornaments!)

Of course you can also put a Christmas spin on classic STEM activities, like making a baking soda volcano in a plastic or glass ball ornament (Little Bins for Little Hands), red and green magic milk (Fun Learning for Kids), Borax crystal ornaments (Go Science Kids) and more!
