Figuring out Fall

I am little and hard and I fall off of a tree.

I can be green or brown if I’m old you will see.

Scurrying squirrels gather and eat me.

What am I?

acorn

When I am full grown I am orange and fine.

I grow in a field on a very long vine.

You can eat me or carve me to make a halloween sign.

I can be red or yellow or orange or brown.

When I change colors on a tree I shine like a crown.

It’s only when I fall that some people frown.

What am I?

leaves

I get taller and taller growing towards the sun.

My petals are bright yellow during summer fun.

When fall comes around you can bake my seeds in a bun.

What am I?

I am nothing in the winter and ripe in the fall.

I am a blossom in the spring and in summer a little green ball.

You can bake me in pies or drink my juice ya’ll.

What am I?

apple

I come one night a year and some call me all hallows eve

When you go door to door say trick-or-treat please.

It might be cold so make sure your costume has long sleeves.

What am I?

halloween

I start out as grass and grow really high.

Before you can cut me I have to be dry.

I’m sorry I make some people sneeze and cry.

What am I?

hay

I am furry and have a tail but I am not a good pet.

I like to eat nuts and hide in trees when it’s wet.

You can see me on your playground if you’re quiet I bet.

What am I?

squirrel

My face can be happy or scary or sad.

You scoop my guts and seeds out but it won’t feel bad.

Get a grown-up to help make me like your mom or your dad.

What am I?

jack-o-lantern

I can be sour or sweet, soft or sticky.

I might crunch or melt or you might have to licky.

Just brush after eating so your teeth won’t get icky.

What am I?

candy

I’m a month on a calendar and I start with an O.

I’m not when it’s hot and not when it snows.

On my very last day trick-or-treating you will go.

What am I?

In the fall I come earlier you can tell by the moon.

I let you know bed time is coming very soon.

Read a book and say your prayers instead of watching a cartoon.

What am I?
