FALL ACTIVITY FOR PRESCHOOLERS

0 Shares

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year when the leaves change colors and fall to the ground. This fall leaf activity for preschoolers was inspired by all the colorful leaves we found on our nature walk.

I created this fall leaf activity for preschoolers using craft supplies we have at home. You can also use real leaves you collect during a nature walk.
