The website also includes great ideas for how to help kids learn more about forests and the fall colors. You can try doing leaf rubbings, taking photos of the seasonal changes, or looking for animal tracks in the forest. First Lady Michelle Obama encourages families and kids to get active in the outdoors through Let’s Move Outside, part of her initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
