Learning benefits

Safety notes
- ⚠️ Ensure the play area is free of tripping hazards like rocks or uneven ground. Remind children not to put leaves in their mouths, especially if playing in a public park where leaves might be treated or harbor unseen things.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Cleanup is a breeze – just gather the leaves back into a single pile for composting or leave them for nature to reclaim. A quick handwash after handling outdoor leaves is a good idea.
