Nature Pizza - Learning about Leaf Changes

It's not delivery... it's Deciduous <3

Pizza is a favorite lunch time meal around here, and we love saving the cardboard insert for fun craft projects! We noticed that some of our leaves are changing color already and decided to use them to learn about how these color changes happen! We made a nature pizza!
