These beautiful custom Autumn themed flashcards are perfect for classroom and home use. Each flashcard includes an original poem on the back for literary exploration and discovery.  20 flashcards in total. 
 
Some ways our parents and educators are using the flashcards:
 
Autumn Station Provocation: Place Autumn cards on a table surrounded by various mediums (pastels, watercolours, markers). Invite your child to observe colours that Autumn inspires. Use these colours to make abstract pieces of art, or colour on leaves directly.
 
Similar Sorting: Place the flashcards face up on a flat surface. Ask your child to sort the flashcards based on similar category families i.e: plants, animals, objects.
 
Autumn Poem Creation: Together as a class or family choose one Autumn card to focus on. Read the poem on the back. Brainstorm words that describe the item. Have students touch/ feel the item in real life. Make a short haiku poem about the object.
 
Autumn Sensory Table: Fill a tub with orange and brown lentils. Place real life objects of the flashcards in the tub such as maple seeds, plaid fabrics, acorns, pinecones and autumn leaves. Place the flashcards on the side of the tub along with an empty basket. Ask your child to find the objects in the tub and move them from the tub to the basket. You can also incorporate tweezers to enhance fine motor development.
 
Scavenger Hunt: Take the flashcards outside and incorporate them into a scavenger hunt where your child has to find objects that match the flashcard.
 
Tasting Table: Find the flashcards involving food such as apples, pumpkin pie, and apple cider. Bake these items with your child, or have a tasting menu where they can try new items. Ask them to vote on their favourite.
