Fall is the perfect time to bring a little seasonal fun into learning. With colorful leaves, pumpkins, apples, acorns, and mushrooms all around, children can explore the beauty of autumn while building important skills. This Fall Sorting Jars Activity is an easy, hands-on craft that kids will love. It combines coloring, cutting, and sorting, making it both fun and educational.
What is the Fall Sorting Jars Activity?
This activity comes with printable jar templates and fall-themed cutouts such as apples, pumpkins, mushrooms, acorns, and leaves. Children can color the items, cut them out, and then sort them into the correct jars. It’s a simple project, but it provides hours of fun while also helping kids practice organization, fine motor skills, and early math concepts.
How to Do the Activity
- Print the templates – Start by printing the jars and fall item cutouts on A4 white paper.
- Color the fall items – Kids can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to decorate apples, pumpkins, mushrooms, acorns, and leaves.
- Cut the items – With child-safe scissors, let the kids carefully cut out the fall objects.
- Sort and glue – Match each cutout to the correct jar (apples in the apple jar, pumpkins in the pumpkin jar, and so on). Then glue them in place.
Fun Variations
- Mix and match game – Shuffle the fall cutouts and ask kids to find the right jar quickly, turning it into a fun game.
- Counting practice – After sorting, count how many apples, pumpkins, or acorns are in each jar.
- Creative play – Let kids design their own jars or draw new fall items to add to the collection.
