Leaf fun:

This month the leaves will have started to fall on the ground covering the grass. These leaves must be collected to help keep the grass alive. A great way to help keep the leaves of the grass is by creating a giant leaf pile in your garden to jump in.

To do this, everyone needs to collect up all the leaves from the garden and stack them into a pile, it might make a mess but it’s worth the fun. Dogs also love leaf piles so if you have a dog, let them join in the fun.

Plant Propagating: 

There is plenty of ways to bring the outside in this late autumn. Propagating plants and growing them inside is a great way to learn about nature and plants as well as the life of a plant.

All you need is:

• Containers
• Plants
• Scissors (For Adults Use ONLY)
• Water
• Plant fertiliser

Step 1:

Any plant can be used for this, houseplants can also be grown through propagating. The cuttings need to be at least 6 inches long, with at least one leaf shoot, cut from the stem of the plant.

Step 2:

Place the stem in the water-filled container and make sure any leaves and shoots are above the waterline.

Step 3:

Add a little bit of fertiliser to the water to help the plants grow, And replace the water every 2-3 days and the plant should start to grow within a few days.

Step 4:

Following their growth in the water, you can then plant them in soil, however, you can grow them in water indefinitely.
