Inside: This leaves count and clip activity is a fun way to work on math skills during the fall theme!
Fall is a beautiful time to take a walk and look all the beautiful colors, especially in the trees.
We’ve created a leaves count and clip activity that you can add to your fall theme.
After collecting and observing the colors of leaves, provide this math activity during centers time or small groups, or at the kitchen table in your home.
We love adding a leaf theme to our preschool classroom in the fall.
