Here is a follow up to our stone matching game!•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you are unfamiliar with the activity, here’s the steps: The challenge of this learning invitation was to match each leaf to it’s outline. Here’s what I did:
1️⃣ I got out my large roll of white paper.
2️⃣ I outlined the leaves. We chose a wide variety of leaves to make it easier to find the match. First I outlined the leaves with pencil and then I used a sharpie.
3️⃣ I Invited Leo to match the leaves to their outlines. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Not only does this activity look like a piece of art when complete😍 but it’s fun and educational too! When we were finished, my boys identified as many leaves as they could and used our leaf identification app for the unknown leaves!
