Let's do this

*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.

A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 5 min to prepare · 12 min to explore · 3 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • Large clean checked leaves or paper leaf shapes
  • Large sheet of card
  • Child-safe glue or broad paper tape
  • Adult-operated scissors if needed

Let's begin

Three simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. Grown-up job

    An adult prepares a large piece of card and safe leaf shapes.

  2. Little one leads

    Your child arranges them into a colourful seasons display.

  3. Display the finished art flat or securely out of reach, and revisit as seasons change.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
