The Little Roots Leaf Labratory

The Little Roots Leaf Laboratory 🍂

12-Page Hands-On Nature Investigation • Ages 2–9

Grab a basket, head outside, and open your very own Leaf Laboratory!

This Little Roots adventure turns the leaves right outside your door into the learning materials. Instead of simply reading about leaves, children become Leaf Scientists as they collect, observe, touch, sort, measure, compare, investigate, and display real fallen leaves.

Inside you'll find:

🍂 Leaf Scientist badge + outdoor scavenger hunt

🔎 Real-leaf observation investigation

🌿 Parts of a leaf exploration

🧺 Hands-on sorting with real leaves

📏 Measuring and comparing

🖍️ Leaf rubbing studio

🔬 Fresh vs. dry leaf investigation

🎨 The science behind autumn leaf colors

🕵️ 8 Leaf Laboratory Challenge Cards

🏛️ Build-your-own Leaf Museum

🏷️ Specimen labels + Leaf Scientist Curator badge

🏅 Certified Little Roots Leaf Scientist certificate

Children explore leaf shape, texture, size, margins, veins, blade, midrib, and petiole before investigating how leaves dry and why many leaves change color in autumn.

And when the investigation is finished? Their collection becomes a Leaf Museum! Children can label their specimens, become the museum curator, and give someone a tour of what they discovered.

With Little Roots and Growing Roots options built in, activities can naturally be adapted for children across ages 2–9.
