  Trying to read the explanations is so hard my eyes hurt and I had to give up 😭 which sucks cuz that’s SO INTERESTING!! I was planning on annoying my kid with a new random fact about plants tomorrow, but I only made it through 1.5.

  That’s so incredibly cool though!

    Save the image and use it as a reference when you spend a time together. Drawing leaves and talking about what causes the colour changes would be a cute activity.
    And if you get them to label the leaves they draw with the names of the chemicals causing the colours, you both get a fun visual aid to stick up on a wall or something.
