Materials
8-10 different-sized leaves
12″x18″ construction paper
Glue
Directions
Take a nature hike with your child at a local park or in your backyard and gather a variety of leaves that are different in size and shape. Once home, spread the leaves around your work table. Point out different sizes and shapes. Invite your child to put leaves in piles of small, medium, and large. Using the construction paper as a work mat, ask your child to choose 4-5 leaves to put in order from smallest to largest, working from left to right. Once the leaves are in the right order according to their size, ask your child to put small drops of glue on the backs of the leaves and glue them down onto the paper in the same order from smallest to largest. Allow time for the glue to dry before displaying.
