We had so much fun digging around, making observations about nature, and asking questions about the different types of leaves we found!

Then, to prepare for our “leaf adventure,” we discussed what we might be looking for. These books are such a fun introduction to the changes we see around us this time of year, and got the kids really excited to get outside and explore themselves!
