Leaf Hunt in the Enchanted Forest
Autumn is the time when trees lose their colorful leaves. But did you know that these leaves are little treasures? In the enchanted forest, where fairies and goblins live, your great leaf hunt begins. The trees have hidden their secrets in the leaves, and it's up to you to find them! Each leaf has its own story and magic. When you find the most beautiful leaves, you can press them and create a magical artwork that will always remind you of this adventure.
What you'll need
- Adventure backpack
- Collection container

How it works
-
Go together to a nearby forest. This place will now be your enchanted forest. Look for the most colorful and interesting leaves you can find. Each leaf has its own magical story!
-
Place the leaves between two sheets of paper and then in a heavy book. This way, you can capture the magic in the leaves. Tip: Let the leaves sit in the book for a week. This helps preserve the magic.
-
Take the leaves out of the book and glue them into an empty book or onto paper. This will be your personal magic book that tells the stories of the enchanted forest. Tip: You can even write your own stories about the leaves.
-
Now you have your own treasures from the enchanted forest, and you can always remember how you found them on your great expedition! Who among you will find the most magical leaf? Have fun on your adventure!
