A painting of Falling Leaves by Olga Wisinger-Florian

Follow these steps, and answer the questions.

Take a walk in a park or a place nearby. What is happening in nature now? Are leaves falling? If so, collect many different kinds. If not, are flowers blooming? If so, take pictures of many types. If you live near the beach, you may choose to work with seashells instead. Look closely at the objects for similarities and differences. How do they feel? What shapes are they? What colors are they? How do they smell? 

Separate the leaves or other objects you have collected. Divide them into piles by color, size, or shape. Can some items be put into more than one category?
