Happy Fall, Mai Friends! Do you have a *change in seasons* or *fall foliage* where you live? Or does the weather stay pretty similar year-round?

I can’t believe it’s already autumn! Here in SoCal, it’s still pretty summery-hot here during the day, but I can already tell the evenings are getting crisper and cooler. Low-key bummed because that means it’ll be too cold for pool time soon, but also excited for snuggly sweaters, pumpkin scented candles, and warm tea! (Green tea in the morning and chai tea to cozy up in the evenings!) Fall also means pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, pumpkin pie (with some apple-ish themed treats thrown in), and all the cozy comfort foods!

To welcome the new season, I’m sharing this collection of Children’s Book Recs, Crafts, and Interactive Read Alouds to bring some fall fun your way! Enjoy some autumn bookish fun with your little learners this season ~ and let me know what some of your favorite fall traditions are.

Books

I’ve curated three Fall book lists for you:

Diverse Fall Picture Books

All Fall Picture Books

Fall Board Books

Fall in the Book Studio

Below you’ll see the Fall shelfies I curated to display our Autumn reads. I loved giving the book studio a mini fall makeover and Toddler is enjoying the fall theme and autumn read alouds.

Our Bear Nugget is the latest addition to our Book Studio. The amber brown corduroy is the perfect fall vibe~ and it makes the comfiest reading spot!

Toddler’s Book Nook got a Fall Makeover as well! Featuring:

SproutKids Lexico Forward Facing Bookshelf, perfect for displaying books accessibly for Toddler. (CODE: STORYBOOK10 for 10% off)
