Activity
Look for leaves on the way home. Notice, where they are – on a tree, a bush, a plant or maybe they are on the ground? Ask a parent if you can collect some, or take a picture on their phone. See how many different kinds of leaves you can find.
Safety Tip: Ask an adult before picking up a leaf. It could be poison ivy!
Questions to Ask
- What shape is the leaf? (Heart, oval, triangle or square.)
- What is the edge of the leaf like? (Straight, pointy, ragged.)
- Is the leaf bigger than your hand?
- If there are any holes in the leaf, what might have been the cause? (Insects, worms.)
