leaf collecting

Have the leaves changed colors yet in your neighborhood? It is the perfect opportunity to go out for a walk with your child! Take a bag with you and turn it into RDI time as you collect items together along your walk.


How can you make a simple walk around the neighborhood into productive RDI time?

- Collect all sorts of different leaves - different colors, shapes, and sizes, talking about each of them as you find them. Make sure that you find some and your child finds some so you are both contributing to the game. Also, point out interesting things and interesting people that you see to your child.

- Gather leaves for a project - After you have gathered your different leaves and returned home from your walk, make an art project with them using colored paper, glue, tape, markers, paint, or any other fun art supplies! This is a perfect activity to do together with your child!
