Fall Symbol Connection

What You Need:

• Poster board
• Marker
• Glue stick
• Computer
• Printer
• Printer paper
• Scissors

What You Do:

1. Help your child load your printer full of printer paper. 
2. Then, take over duties and connect to the Internet.
3. Locate a website that contains royalty free clip art.
4. Next, search for 10 fall-related objects (leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, etc.) and 10 non-fall related objects. 
5. Download these images to your computer. 
6. Place all of these images into a single PDF or Word document. Be sure to make sure each object is about 1 inch by 1 inch big. Also, be sure to include each fall image twice in your document (for a total of 30 objects in your document). 
7. Print the document. 
8. Have your child take over duties again. Using the scissors, she should very carefully cut out each shape. 
9. Then, using the glue stick, help her glue all of the shapes to the poster board in a random manner.  
10. Hand her the marker and explain that she should draw a line connecting each fall item to its match. 
11. For example, if you printed off a pair of pumpkins, she should draw a line between them. If you printed off a pair of corn stalks, she should draw a line between them.
12. The goal is for her to draw a line between each fall pair, while leaving the non-fall items alone.
