It’s almost that time of year. The time that the seasons are changing. And the time that the leaves are changing, and falling to the ground.
What can the kids do with all these leaves?
Of course, you gotta rake them up in a pile and jump in them and throw them in the air!
But there’s so much more you can do with leaves! My It’s Playtime pals from last week shared lots of leaf activities and I’m sharing 8 of them with you!
Find more fall activities for toddlers too!
8 Leafy Activities for Kids:
(above, from top, left to right)
- Puffy paint fall art, paint on leaves! From Growing a Jeweled Rose.
- Create plaster leaf castings from We Play in PA.
- Make leaf people by drawing or using stickers from At Home with Ali.
- Leaf matching activity from Smiling Like Sunshine
- Leaf rubbings from Making Boys Men.
- Printing with leaves (and apples!) from Putti’s World.
- Thread leaves onto string to make a leaf garland, from Adventures at Home.
- Combine those last two and make a leaf print flag, a garland of printed leaves from Chalk in my Pocket!
Don’t forget to just run and play in a pile of leaves too!
Oh my goodness! That photo is from last year and Henry looks so young! Amazing how much they grow up in a year!

The leaves look like so much fun. Where I live now is probably not the best place for the kinds of varieties you are showing, but there are definitely some good ideas for those who have varieties of leaves.

I tried to put your button on my sidebar. The only part that showed up was “It’s”.

Tulip says
The leaf garland is beautiful. I just found someones secret stash of crispy leaves in a play purse today. They didn’t hold up very well so I won’t be using them to make the garland :)

I was just about to ask you if you really had all those leaves down already! But, then I was able to read :)
