🍁 Why Do Leaves Change Colour in Autumn?
In summer, leaves are green, but in autumn, they suddenly turn yellow, orange and red. But why does this happen?
Explain it to your child in a simple, playful way: the tree takes back the green pigment from its leaves to store energy for winter, allowing other colours to appear. The bright red colour can also develop in autumn.
🍂 Fun Activity: The Colour Road
Collect colourful leaves on your next walk and arrange them in a line – from green to yellow, orange and fiery red.
A lovely way to explore nature, learn about colours and encourage your little one's curiosity. Suitable for children aged 2 and up for sorting, and 3 and up for discovering why leaves change colour! 🌳
