The leaves have started to change color, jack-o-lanterns have taken over all the neighbor’s patios, and pumpkin spice lattes are back on the Starbucks menu.
You know it’s fall when you find leaves scattered around your backyard. While most of us don’t exactly get excited about picking them up and raking the lawn, it’s a fun task to do with your kids!
Grab a rake or two, and show your child how leaf-gathering happens. Admire the beauty of the different leaf shapes and explain to them how and why the leaves change colors.
