Fall Color Match Walk

[20 Minutes]

There is nothing like a walk in the crisp, cool fall air to reawaken your senses to the sights, smells, sounds, and feel of the season.

You'll need:

• leaves of different colors

What to do:

1. Invite your child to go on a walk and look for things that are the same as the color of fall leaves.
2. Give her one leaf at a time and challenge her to try to find another object outside with the same color as the leaf.
3. After she finds several objects of one color, give her a new leaf in a different color and repeat the activity.
4. Back at home, let her find objects inside that are the same colors as fall leaves.
