How to try it
Have each child carry armfuls or small buckets of fallen leaves to one spot. Build a single pile as a team, then take turns sitting in it while the others sprinkle leaves over their boots.
Materials
- Fallen leaves
- Small buckets (optional)
Safety note
Check the leaves for sharp objects and animal mess, skip piles near a road, keep leaves away from mouths and faces, and wash hands afterward.
Save this idea
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
Why it matters
Adding to one shared pile gives toddlers a common goal, and every armful from a friend makes the pile grow.
