Fall is my favourite season. My senses go wild. My nose with the smell of wet soggy leaves, my eyes love the beautiful colours with a blue sky as the back drop and my ears love the crunch of the leaves under my feet! I love looking for vibrant coloured leaves that have fallen and decorating my dining table. I have fond memories of collecting things in nature with my boys and making piles of leaves to jump in and hide in.
Maybe the stories below will inspire you to play in the leaves . Take along a bag or bucket on your walks so that you can bring natural materials home, they are FREE! Wonder with your child what you might do with these materials. Could you sort them, order them, glue them, cut them?
I know that many are limiting their children’s use of screen time. So here are some ideas of what you could do with the stories I suggest below:
1. Watch the stories yourself .
2. Borrow them from the library.
3. Watch the stories with your child.
