Get outside and turn over a new LEAF.
On your next family nature walk, take time to enjoy the beauty that leaves bring to the season. Talk about the sounds, colors, and scents you notice during the Fall. Collect leaves of all shapes and sizes. When you get home, take an even closer look at these beauties. Here is some un-be-leaf-able fall fun!
