Leaf Raking Party

Throw a leaf raking party and let the kids rake your yard while playing hard. Cider,chili and cupcakes are perfect fall treats, and a wax paper leaf pressing project is a great way for kids to learn about trees and leaves.

Leaf Face Painting

Lisa Yu from Paint Savvy suggests either painting the entire face as a leaf, or painting a leaf on each cheek. Another idea is nuts on each cheek.

Leaf Raking Contest

Divide the kids into groups and have them compete to see who can rake the highest pile of leaves. After the leaves have been piled, you can have them compete to see who can bag the leaves most leaves in the shortest period of time.
