This Nature Learning Leaf Hunt Printable is perfect for getting the kids outside to explore nature! Just print, put on their shoes, and head out the door!

Nature learning is one of our favorite activities. It’s so simple to get complacent and just sit inside, but with the outside world waiting to be explored, why wait? Use this printable leaf hunt activity to help the kids learn how to explore nature by stopping to “smell the roses.”

This printable is fun because the variety of leaves is printed on the side, leaving them a big open window to look into and compare leaf matches side by side.

Is it hard to identify the different types of leaves?

This printable leaf PDF makes it not hard at all! We’ve included some of the most common types of leaves on the printable, making it super simple for the kids to compare!

How can I make the printable sturdy?

Once you print out the printable, you can glue it to a piece of cardboard or card stock to help keep it sturdy. This is a great idea because the wind will be blowing when you’re outside, and the kids might get frustrated.

Just print, glue, and cut out the middle. It’s actually easier to cut out the middle of the cardboard first and then add the paper on top.

Glue the popsicle stick to the bottom of the printable and the cardboard, and you’ve just created a simple sign for them to use when identifying the leaves. So much nature fun!
