This beautiful set of 12 leaves in seasonal tones will help grow children’s imagination and curiosity about the natural world. Designed for outdoor learning and investigative play, these leaves are durable enough to be used in water, soil, mud and play clay, and easily cleaned! Wonderfully sensory, the details can be felt as well as seen. Children will delight in making imprints in play clay and taking rubbings using wax crayons.
These tactile leaves provide lots of play and learning opportunities: Stand them up to create inviting woodland scenery props or hide them in a box with real leaves for the children to find and describe.
