This printable leaf compass will help you enjoy the magic of fairies, track dragons, and brew magic potions. The creativity is endless as you gather the materials and head outside on a magical outdoor adventure.
Once you’ve created your compass it’s time to get out there and search your local forests, backyard and anywhere outdoors to find signs of those dragons, unicorns, and fairies. Don’t forget to peek in those plant pots, local meadows and even a school playground.
All you need is a little imagination, a safe outdoor location, and this printable leaf compass to get in touch with the Wild Things as you venture out into the great outdoors to witness nature’s magic. You’ll be surprised what you find as you enjoy looking for clues that these magical creatures exist, and they exist right here in your local neighborhood.
