Fall Pom Pom Pattern Blocks | Fine Motor Language Describing | SLP SPED Autism

Build fall objects, talk about them, and strengthen little hands — all at once! These Fall Fine Motor Tasks combine language and fine motor practice as students create fall-themed objects, identify and label them, and describe their features and functions. With two different hands-on activities, it's a favorite for speech therapy, special education, and preschool small groups.

Two activities are included:

🍂 Fall "Let's Talk About It" Pom Pom Activities — Students identify each fall object, build it using pom poms, and describe it by answering the prompts at the bottom of each mat. Great for describing, labeling, and features/functions.

🎃 Fall "Let's Build It" Activities — Students create fall objects out of colored pattern blocks and count the number of each color used — adding shapes, counting, and visual discrimination to the mix.

📚 How to Use

• Use the pom pom mats for small-group or 1:1 discussion: build each object, then answer the describing prompts
• Use the "Let's Build It" pattern block cards to build objects and count colors
