Punch a hole in the top and string with yarn to make a necklace. Give each child a necklace and set out on a walk. Discuss the different sizes, shapes, and colors of leaves. Have the children try to find the tree their leaf came from. Then during group time, give the children clues and ask them to guess what the object is.
Ladders Put ladders out for outdoor play.
Make sure enough adults are present to supervise ladder play, and discuss ladder safety with the children. An all-time favorite. Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water in pan. Cook to 300 degrees or until mixture spins a thread. Take off heat, add color and flavoring.
