העלים נושרים מן העצים, מזג האויר משתנה תדיר ולטבע מראות וצבעים ייחודיים - עונת הסתיו הגיעה! לפניכם ספרים איתם אפשר לחגוג את התחדשות הטבע והתופעות הייחודיות לעונה זו.
You can look at the illustrations and discuss the difficulty and reward associated with giving: What does the rabbit look like when he voluntarily shares his seeds? What is his facial expression when the wind “takes” them from him? In your opinion, how would someone feel while sharing something they care about with us? Is there anything that you find hard to share with others?
This book can inspire you to prepare bags of love together,and fill them with whatever makes you happy: Cookies you’ve baked together, hand-drawn greeting cards, or even some seeds collected from fruits or plants. Now you can embark on a journey of giving, and surprise your loved ones.
You can visualize your path of giving together: Will it be long or short? Winding or straight? Which colors would you pick for it? You can draw this path using cotton swabs dipped in paint, follow the dots in the illustrations, and create a variety of colorful flowers “in a glorious mess”.
You can go for a walk near your home and examine the environmental changes brought about by the weather. Perhaps flowers are in bloom? Or maybe leaves are falling? You can choose one spot and take pictures of it in different seasons, looking for the changes in nature captured in the photographs.
One could collect leaves, seashells, stones, napkins, marbles, dolls, or even… words. Do you, parents, also have similar collections, or had them when you were younger? You are more than welcome to tell your child about them, and invite them to take a look around them to see what else they could collect. You could start working on a brand new, joint collection right now!
A tin box, kettle, crate or shoebox could each become a home for beloved items. You could decorate your container of choice with newspaper cuttings, buttons, leaves, seashells, colorful sand, or any other suitable material that you may find at home or outdoors. Are you done? Is your container ready? Now’s the time to fill it up with treasures.
One leaf looks like a feather, some stones look like eggs, and what shape is a pinecone? You may enjoy collecting leaves, stones, pinecones, or anything else you find around you, and… play: Take turns picking an item, and having the other players name objects to which it is similar.
What’s new in your surroundings? Perhaps you could go outside and take a fresh look at the environment: Which animals will you come across? What colors and shapes are the leaves? What is happening up above in the sky, or down below on the ground? You may enjoy creating your own path, take a walk on it from time to time, and check what has remained the same, and what has changed.
