The leaves here haven’t started changing colors yet, but the first day of Fall was this past Saturday, September 22nd, so I thought why not start thinking about some fun Fall leaves activities?
- Leaf Collecting – Collect beautiful Fall leaves all season long and paste them into a scrapbook.
- Leaf Rubbings – Place a leaf under a piece of paper and rub the side of a crayon over the paper to reveal the tiny veins and edges of the leaf.
- Leaf Windows – Stick leaves to the sticky side of contact paper and then stick it up on your window. It looks like the leaves are falling all day long!
- Leaf Piles – Rake up a leaf pile and jump in! (Some children don’t like their leaf pile to be scattered so it may be a good idea to designate jumping and non-jumping piles.)
- Leaf Prints – Paint one side of a leaf and then use it like a stamp to decorate paper.
- Leaf and Wax Paper – Place leaves between two pieces of wax paper. Iron the paper to preserve the leaves.
- Leaf Sorting – Collect leaves and then sort them according to size, color, shape, or however the children wish.

However, it's important to keep in mind that all activities should be performed under the supervision of an adult. The Adventurous Child website is intended to serve as a reference and guidance for educational activities, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent, guardian, and/or educator to determine the appropriateness of the activity for their child’s age and maturity level.
