The soft stems and delicate leaves of our Japanese Maple make beautifully soft leaf piles, and my kids had a blast in their new sensory playground!
We raked the leaves up over and over, so they could run through them, throw them in the air,
And style fashionable hair accessories!

The kids look adorable as always and look like they are having a blast!
Your Japanese maple must be huge compared to ours to have that big pile of leaves. It’s my favorite tree. So pretty.

We did yesterday as well, and it was so much fun. This time of the year is so beautiful, and it’s even better when one can look at all the beauty with child’s eyes.

@Elise – I LOVE our tree, and yes, we are very blessed to have such a wonderful yard!
@Natalie – Yes, seeing things through a child’s eyes makes it all the more beautiful, doesn’t it!
@Jen – Too bad we can’t send you some of our leaves =)
@Susana – Ours is quite large, for a Japanese Maple. I LOVE this tree, I think it is the most beautiful tree in the world!

We have a tree in our front yard that drops lots of leaves, but they’re not the “piling” type of leaves. Weird. Great pictures!
