Leaf Play (& Outdoor Play Party)

Leaf Play


Welcome back to another Outdoor Play Party!  If you've been playing outdoors with kids this week then don't forget to link up your ideas below.  This week we've been playing with leaves!


Our walk home from school takes us past several trees, and a lot of leaves!  So, one day this week I took a bin bag with us and they collected leaves on the walk home.

Most amusing was I told the older two boys that had to carry the 'sack' of leaves home, they promptly ran off shouting 'we're late, we've got the presents to deliver' and kept calling one another either Santa or Elf depending on who was carrying the sack.

When we got home they decided to string up the bag, split it open a little and use it as a punch bag to test out their ninja skills.

When all the leaves were out they just enjoyed throwing them at one another.

Little Dude wanted in on the action and loved throwing leaves at his brothers.

And so, to the Outdoor Play Party.  My favourite post from last time was from Happy Hooligans and their Mirror Play.


If you've played outside with kids this week then why not link up?  Doing so gives the hosts permission to share one picture and link on social media sites.

  2. It's the simple things which create the most fun, and leaves are terribly simple at this time of year, and definitely fun! We don't have many leaves falling from the trees at the moment, and it's rained on and off for the past few days so those that we see are soggy and horrid. I love that your boys had their shoes off to scrunch in the leaves though, must have been a wonderful sensation!
