Instructions

l Collect several fallen leaves and
laminate them. (Consider having
the children go outside and collect
some leaves for this activity.)
l Cut the laminated leaves into a
number of interlocking puzzle
pieces, numbering each from 1 to 4
or 1 to 10.
What To Do
1. Talk with the children about how, in the fall season, leaves change color and
fall to the ground, and then further fall apart by breaking into several small
pieces.
2. Show the children the different leaf puzzles and invite the children to explore
putting them back together.
3. Challenge the children to count the number of pieces that make up each
puzzle.
Assessment
To assess the children's learning, consider the following:
l Can the children put the leaf puzzles back together again?
l Can the children count the number of pieces that make up each leaf puzzle?
