Easy DIY leaf family for kindergarteners
The fall season is one of change. It is memorable for kids because they get to see trees with green leaves magically explode with red, orange, and yellow hues. Leaves start to fall to the ground, and the clothes get warmer.
As nature winds down and prepares for the cold months, it offers many learning opportunities for your little ones.
Welcome fall this year with this easy DIY for young children!
What does your child learn through this activity: Not all leaves are the same, nor do they all turn orange and gets crunchy during fall. The main reason leaves fall from trees during fall and winter is because trees need to prepare themselves for the cold months, and there is only a little sunlight to give them energy. So the green stuff in the leaves that create energy gets absorbed by the tree and keeps it in storage for when the cold goes away and the sun is back up in the sky.1
