    Published: Sep 18, 2023 · Modified: Dec 12, 2023

    • Share

    This free printable first day of fall worksheet is a great way for little learners to practice essential skills including fine motor skills, writing skills, and sight words.

    Pick from two different versions: a "first day of fall" or a "first day of autumn" worksheet for your young learners. I hope you enjoy!

     A preview of two kindergarten worksheets. Both have children playing in fall leaves to color. One has "first day of fall" in a dotted font to trace and the other has "first day of autumn" in a tracing font. They are on a light blue background.

    This set of worksheets to start the fall season features words to trace, a blank line for free writing, and images to color of two children planing in autumn leaves. 

    This free printable is a fun activity for kindergarten and 1st grade students. Some second grade students could benefit from it, as well, depending on their needs and abilities. Special education students and students engaged in occupational therapy will also have a great time with this first day of fall worksheet.

    If you're looking for educational activities for your fall theme, you've come to the right place! Make sure to check out these additional free fall printables while you're here on The Artisan Life:

    When is the first day of fall?

    The first day of fall is the day of the Autumn Equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is typically on September 22 or September 23.

    In the Southern Hemisphere, this equinox is typically March 20 or 21.

    The Harvest Moon also occurs around this time. The harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox.

    How to use printable worksheets

    You don't need much to use this first day of fall/first day of autumn worksheet. You'll need:

    • Your free printable autumn worksheets (look for the download link towards the bottom of the page)
    • Printer access & paper
    • A developmentally appropriate pencil
    • Crayons, pencils, etc for coloring
    • Dry erase pockets or page protectors, optional

    You can just print the page out and hand it over to your little learner, but it's easy to make worksheets reusable. You can laminate the page, or side it into a heavy duty page protector or a dry erase pocket.

    Reusable worksheets help your child work towards mastery of the task. They're also ideal for literacy centers. Save your copy budget when you only print a few copies of the worksheet instead of an entire stack!

    Parents and teachers are sometimes hesitant to make worksheets reusable because they don't want the stink and mess of wet or dry erase markers. I have great news for you - Stabilo 3 in 1 Woody crayons work even better than markers and they don't smell! We even use them with reusable coloring pages.
