These Autumn, Signs of Fall notebooking pages are perfect for many different types of writing assignments in various subjects and work well to create a mini nature study unit on the changing seasons.

With these Fall notebooking pages, your kids can write about the characteristics of the season autumn in general. Perhaps they’d like to record what they saw on their nature hike using these printables.

Or they can write a story that takes place in the autumn. They could even use them to write about an activity that they’ve done in the fall, like a fall festival, visiting a pumpkin patch, raking and jumping in leaves, or apple picking.

After they’ve written about the changes we see in nature during the autumn, your kids may want to learn how to preserve leaves (for crafting).
