    Love this fall book list! These books are excellent segues into going on a “field trip” outside with your child to gather colorful leaves together, sort them by size, shape, or color! Another fun idea to do with leaves is to place a piece of blank paper on top of the leaf and rub a crayon over top of it to see the leaf’s imprint come to life!
