Autumn is here and you have probably had the joy of taking a leaf walk with your little one.  Perhaps, if you are like me and my sweet gal, you take a very sloooooooow walk to the park, gathering favorite leaves along the way.  I am really enjoying these moments, with one hand holding her I-still-marvel-that-I-made-these-strong-little-fingers and the other hand holding red and golden hued treasures.

Here are some activities to bring these beautiful Autumn days inside your home.

A wonderful way to preserve you leaf treasures
