On your next nature walk with your child, collect leaves that are small, medium, and large sizes. After you get home, create a sorting system for child. Tape one example of each size leaf onto the side of a paper bag. Put the rest of the leaves in a pile, and have your child sort the leaves into the correct bag, according to size.

Ages: 1-6 year olds
