Fall is one of the best times of year to explore with preschoolers. The weather is cooler, the animals are moving around and storing up food for winter, and the colors are gorgeous.

To get started, simply use the scissors to cut the paint sample strips apart. You’ll want to have one color on each strip.

If your preschoolers are working on scissor skills, hand them a pair of child-safe scissors and let them help with this part.

Pour out several fall leaf foam stickers onto the table. I love the glittery foam stickers, but you could also use felt or paper stickers if you prefer.

Since the glitter sticks up a bit, working with them makes a nice sensory activity for little hands.

Let the kids try to match up the color stickers with the colored paint strips. 

You can work with one color family at a time, especially when you’re first beginning to talk about colors, or you can combine them all and see how quickly the kids can match up the leaves and paint strips.

This would also make a great on-the-go busy bag for active toddlers and preschoolers!
