How to make
Go for a gentle walk together in a park, garden, or woodland.
Pause and notice leaves on the ground and invite your child to pick the ones that catch their interest.
Collect a variety of leaves, focusing on colours, textures, and shapes that feel exciting or unusual.
Sit together and explore the leaves. Touch them, turn them over, and simply wonder aloud about what you see.
Talk naturally about the leaves, what they remind you of, where they might have come from, or which ones you both like most.
Enjoy the moment without needing to “complete” anything. Allow curiosity to lead the experience.
