Preschool activities do to with leaves

One of my favorite fall activities to do with preschoolers is to collect leaves.  I give each child a grocery bag and we go on a nice long walk to make sure that we pass a variety of trees and we try to get leaves of all shapes, colors, and sizes.  We have some really great conversations during our walk; we try to decide which leaves have fallen from which trees, and we watch squirrels collect acorns and bury them for the winter.

After we collect as many leaves as we can we take them back to the classroom we start exploring.  Here are some great activities that you can do with your leaves:
