And if you don’t think like that, but remember that in the fall there is a great opportunity to enjoy the last warmth. Only at this time can you see multi-colored, bizarrely shaped leaves. Children in kindergartens and schools make wonderful applications with them. First, they go with their teachers to the park, where there are a lot of bright and beautiful leaves, collect bouquets from them, make herbariums, and then crafts.

October 19. Foma - winter

Everyone has heard the saying “They talk about Yerema, and he talks about Thomas”. Yes, this is the same Thomas mentioned in this saying! The song about Thomas and Yerema is still known, it found its way into folklore collections and was depicted in popular prints.

On this day, you can watch the cartoon “About Thomas and Yerema” with your child and read a fable about them in verse.

Fable about Thomas and Yerema

Foma and Erema met one day.

They began to hug and boast to each other:

Where were you last summer?

He carried firewood from the village to the forest.

And I sowed flour with a bucket, kneaded the dough,

And he carried water home from the river with a sieve.

Erema says angrily:

How I harnessed the horse to the trough,

And then I went to mow,

To feed a cow in winter.

And I wash clothes in the cart,

I sing songs, and I don’t know trouble.

Foma smiled slyly:

What you are making up is right!

One day in the winter I left the house:

The grass is turning green, the melons are ripe on the roof.

A day later I look: snowstorms have arrived,

Snow, frost, and the rooks flew away somewhere...

Oh, what a wonderful summer it has been!

The tree branches are covered with white frost,

You can easily walk barefoot like this,

Swim in the river and fish.

And Erema looks at Thomas and sighs:

Oh, Burenka, my little cow, everything is sick,

She used to give me sweet tea,

The old woman used to milk a hundred liters.

I still don’t understand what happened to the cow,

Gives milk instead of sweet tea.

And things are not going well in my household, -

Foma answers annoyingly,

Pigs used to rush in the morning,

I collected ten eggs myself.

The chickens grunted, nibbled grass,

For half a day everyone lay lazily in the swamp,

And now, they cackled boldly.

I just don’t understand: what’s the matter?

Yerema and Thomas sighed

Over such an absurd mess,

They said goodbye, went home,

And only a fable remained from them.

You guys should read it quickly,

And find the mistakes of Thomas and Erema,

Figure out what's true and what's not

I believe your answer will be correct.

Come up with your own fables of Thomas and Erema.

October 21 – Tryphon and Pelageya

From Tryphon to Pelagia it gets colder.

They used to say this: “Trifon is mending his fur coat, Pelageya is sewing mittens.” And we will also start preparing winter clothes, because it will soon become very cold.

• Cut out the silhouette of mittens and a fur coat from paper and decorate with an ornamental line(you can make an ornament all over the mitten, or you can do it only on part of it). The ornament can be made along the hem of the fur coat and the cuffs. The ornament can be drawn (for older children) or made using the appliqué technique. By making an ornamental stripe, the baby will learn to arrange the elements in sequence in a strict order of their alternation.
• You can pair up children and give a task to a couple of children decorate a pair of mittens for the Snow Maiden- She is already preparing to come to us in winter. Each child makes one mitten from a pair. This task is complex and accessible to children from 6 years old. Teach children to pre-negotiate with each other before work, discuss how they will decorate the mittens, what shape, color, and size of the parts they will take. After all, the mittens should turn out exactly the same.
• You can wish each other different ornaments to continue and guessing the principle of its construction. You lay out an ornament of figures, and the child needs to guess the pattern in its composition and continue the series. First, alternate the figures according to one characteristic. For example, by color: red square - yellow square - red square - yellow square (or similar in shape or size). Then start combining two parameters in one ornament, for example, size and color.

October 25. Prov

On this day people they watch the stars and use them to tell fortunes about the weather and the harvest. I highly recommend reading Levitan’s books “To Kids about Stars and Planets” and any of their modern reissues by this author. You yourself will learn a lot, and you can tell and show a lot of interesting things to your children in an entertaining way.

Tell the children about solar system, and my favorite educational TV show for preschoolers on the TV channel “My Joy” - “Shishkina School” - will help you with this.

Planets are giants

Pluto and comets.
