To prep:

Write the alphabet letters you wish to review on the foam leaves with black permanent marker.

Paint a Fall tree on a large window or glass door using brown tempera paint. (Tempera paint is completely washable and should wipe right off with window cleaner and a rag.)

Use a black dry erase marker to write the letters in the tree for the children to match with the leaves. (Dry eraser markers are perfectly safe to use on windows and wipes of easily.)

How to:

After setting up, invite your child to match up the letters on the leaves to the alphabet in the tree. Using a small spray bottle with water, kids will have fun spraying the letter on the window and then sticking the foam leaves to the matching letters! This is a hands-on way for preschoolers to practice letter recognition and fine motor skills! Plus its perfect for wiggly kids because they are free to move around while they learn!

You can use this activity in a few different ways. This Fall Leaves Alphabet Matching Activity can be used to match uppercase letters to lowercase letters. It can also be used to help children learn to recognize just a few different letters or review all the letters in the alphabet!
