I had this brilliant idea because the leaves are such pretty colors right now. I'm pretty sure that when I was little, I would draw red, orange, and yellow leaves for fall, but I really thought they just dried up, turned brown and fell off the tree. Getting Harper to really see all those colors seemed like a good idea.
So I made a list of the things we needed to look for on our leaf hunt.
We headed out on a walk toward the park.
We found lots of leaves.
Then we played at the park.
When we got home, Harper took all of the leaves we found and made a picture.
We will definitely do this again. As they get older we will definitely identify the types of trees that our leaves come from and learn why leaves turn color and I'm sure that I'll think of more things they will need to learn. These poor kids with a Biology teacher for a mom.
