L is for Leaf. Learning the Upper and Lower Case Letters and Their Sounds.

Armed with her bucket and her snow boots Maddy set off through our neighborhood to find leaves. What three-year-old wants to look for leaves? Well, mine. After I told her how fun and exciting it will be, of course. All the colors scattered around the neighborhood did make our hunt fun and exciting.

“Look Mama, I found a RED one. A really RED one.”

Why search for leaves? L-l-l-l-leaves start with the letter L. I bet you knew that already though. However Maddy did not.

She does now.

Supplies needed for L is if Leaf:

• A Marker
• Construction paper
• Leaves (either real or fake will do)
• Glue

Step one: Draw a an upper and lower case L on the construction paper.

Step two: Glue the different leaves onto the upper and lower case L.

Step Three: Admire your l-l-l-lovely l-l-l-leaf filled L’s.

We had a lot of fun trekking around our neighborhood finding leaves, jumping in leaves, and talking about leaves and why they change color. It was a fun time and a good way to learn about the letter L.
