Did you ever go on a nature walk and collect colorful leaves but have no where to put them? This contact paper leaf collection is a Fall leaf collage and all you need is a sheet of contact paper. This is a fun way to expand on a family nature walk during the Fall months! Add this to your outdoor occupational therapy sessions or Fall OT planning.
Contact Paper leaf Collection
My kids wanted to go for a Nature Hike one beautiful, sunny, fall day. I pulled out some squares of contact paper and we went around the yard, gathering leaves, acorn tops, flowers, grasses, pine needles…all kinds of fun, fall things.
Big Sister is learning about the senses in her Pre-K Science class. We talked about the 5 senses a little bit, but mostly just enjoyed the warm sun and crunchy leaves.
Big Sister came up with the idea to use this as their “map”. I thought this was a pretty cool idea, and it coming all from her is so exciting. I love the imagination at this age!
Big Sister and Little Guy are really into Jake and the Neverland Pirates right now. Everything is a pirate adventure with pixie dust and gold doubloons!
We went off on our adventure around the yard to visit Acorn Island, Leaf Land, Flower Isle, and Pine Needle Island.
Such a fun day!
