Identifying Leaves
Identifying leaves is a great way to get out and enjoy nature. All you need is your hiking shoes and maybe a good book from the library on identifying leaves. Just about anywhere you go there are lots of different types of trees around so finding leaves should be as easy as stepping out your front door. Leaves are always falling to the ground so you shouldn't have to pick to many live ones from the trees themselves. What a great way to spend an afternoon with your family.
