Have you noticed yet that we are loving playing in the fall leaves??
Here are some more ways we have been playing outdoors in the leaves:
Making leaf cakes
Running and jumping in piles of leaves
Swishing through them with our feet to make little pattern paths (can you see it in the middle there?)
Scattering them over the play table, then sweeping them off again with an old paintbrush
Using them to leave a Hansel and Gretal-style trail for the neighbour's cat,
just in case he might want to follow us home!

Did you see all the posts linked up to last week's Outdoor Play Party? My favourite was this one submitted by Sunhats and Wellie Boots - after they had been talking about hibernation, her daughter wanted to make a hedgehog house for the hedgehogs to hibernate in! (How sweet is that?)

And be sure to check out my co-hosts' pages to see what they picked to feature as their favourite outdoor play idea submitted last week.
