Fall Learning Activities with Leaves and More

I know it’s not technically fall yet but I’m so ready, and there are a lot of great ideas for learning with fall items like leaves and acorns that you should have in mind when the time comes. Here are (more than!) a few to get you started.

I’d love to know if you incorporate natural materials into learning during the fall or any other time of year!
