Easy leaf rubbing project - part art and part science project as kids create a leaf collage & get a peek into the parts of a leaf! I have always loved making leaf rubbings!  Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by this beautiful self-made art -- the instant 'picture' that was created just by covering a leaf with paper and running a crayon over the top. As I grew to become a nature lover, I realized that making a leaf print is much more than just a pretty picture -- it's also a peek into the science of trees.

These 40 FUN Fall Activities for families will inspire you to connect & make memories together this season! Do you know what I love about the Fall and Halloween season?  There are SO many great Autumn activities for kids and adults to do together!

I just LOVE Fall!  Especially getting outside to enjoy the weather -- which always leads me to think about a few fun Fall themed science activities for kids. With all the seasonal changes, science in the Fall can be so easy to come by and so colorful too -- kids will typically ask questions like "why do leaves change colors?", they look forward to making leaf rubbings and eagerly collect various nature items like pinecones & acorns for projects! So today I hope to inspire you with some seasonal science -- experiments with leaves, apples, pumpkins and more Autumn favorites!
