I love giving them fun challenges to really get them to look whilst we're out walking and this challenge was a simple one - see how many different leaves you can find. This challenge is suitable for a wide age range too. Another bonus, especially if you have children of different ages in your homes/groups.
We collected a large variety ready to bring back home and do some DIY Leaf Prints!
In my opinion you really can't beat this time of year for the most stunning outdoor walks and the crafts that go hand in hand with this time of year! I love Autumn crafting with the children! After busy weeks at work and school we always dedicate a day at the weekend to go walking.

We collected a large variety ready to bring back home and do some DIY Leaf Prints! This is a low prep activity. You can bring it together really quickly using items you will no doubt already have to hand.
They really love seeing the cause and effect of their prints. Leaves crisp up quite quickly so this activity needs to be done right away really. If you can't do them on the same day consider where you store them. Somewhere cool, out the way of a direct heat source.
If you give them a go and get round to taking a photo, be sure to find us on social media and share your makes with us!
It makes my day.
Until next time, keep playing and having fun!
