Falling Leaves! Leaf Identification Flashcards and Matching Activity

September 8, 2020 by Selena Robinson 37 Comments

Fall is nearly here!

I love summer, but fall is a close runner-up for my favorite time of year.

The leaves change colors, the weather gets cool, plus we get to start baking and knitting!

So I thought I’d share a set of printable leaf identification flashcards!

These are perfect for fall learning, but you can really use them anytime of the year.

They’d also be great for a spring unit, since that’s when plants begin to flower again.

Matching Up Leaf Identification Flashcards

I am woefully ignorant about plant species, so I learned quite a bit by making these.

I hope you and your students enjoy them as well!

Plus, keep reading to see how to get a set of expanded leaf identification activity cards for your class too!

Be sure to check out our other fall printables, including our Fall Sight Word Flashcards and our Fall Alphabet and Number Playdough Mats!

These printable leaf identification flashcards are a fun way to get kids interested in nature!
