Take your child outside to discover leaves. While you&#8217;re out, look for leaves of all shapes and sizes. During your adventure, talk to your child about how leaves help plants grow. You can touch different leaves and notice how they feel. Some may be smooth, while others might be rough. Encourage your child to collect leaves they find interesting. You can even draw or write about each leaf in a notebook. When you get home, you can do fun activities with the leaves. Try making leaf rubbings or pressing leaves between wax paper to save them. By exploring leaves together, you&#8217;re helping your child learn about nature and the world around them. So, get ready for a leaf-tastic adventure!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/younginnovatorsacademy.com\/winterpark\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/australian20family-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Learning Together\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s How to Teach About Leaves<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Head outside with your child and ask, &#8220;Do you know what the job of a leaf is?
