Autumn is in the air and the leaves are falling. They aren’t just a nuisance, they’re nature’s craft supplies! We took our new book, Learn With Play: 150+ Activities for Year-round Fun & Learning, out and got busy.
Tristan, Kallista, and I have had a great time this year attending the Biodiversity Summer School. We forgot how much we liked walking down to this quiet little space of nature. We’ve continued to venture down and it’s the perfect place to do some nature crafting.
The children were having such a good time, that they attracted the attention of others out walking. Everyone loved the idea of making leaf people!
Then it was time to find the little people a home of their own to watch over the woods. They look like a happy family, don’t they?
This activity was taken from the book, “Learn With Play: 150+ Activities for Year-round Fun & Learning, ” (page 162) with the permission of Helen of Peakle Pie.

The third grade classes at our elementary school do this project and the children love it so much. I like how you take the children outdoors so often and utilize what is available so we can replicate without a huge cost, and we get exercise. Thanks!

There’s no age limit on fun! Free and frugal are what we love best. We can all use exercise, and when we have a fun destination in mind, it doesn’t feel like ‘exercise’ to walk there 🙂
