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.

Now I want to go find leaves. And I work in the middle of a forest. So it wouldn’t be difficult. Sadly I fear my boss would not approve.
