Here is a fun puppet project idea for preschoolers to do in the classroom or at home to celebrate the first day of autumn and learn more about the seasons.
You can put on a simple puppet show about how trees grow and change over the four seasons. You can show children how the tree grows in the spring and the buds and flowers appear. Then in summer the sun, rain and soil bring nourishment to the tree and the leaves get full and green. When autumn comes the leaves change color and fall to the ground as the tree prepares to store energy for the winter ahead.
You can have each child make their own tree stick puppet with the different color leaves or put on a show for them with a tree puppet that is a plush hand puppet.
Tree Puppet – Four Seasons
Some other ideas to add to your puppet show are to have a sun puppet, a rain cloud puppet, a bird puppet that can sing in the tree or a winter wind and snow cloud puppet.
Adding some music to your presentation can give the children an appreciation for classical music. A good choice for this show is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons the Autumn movement.
Have fun!
