Happy Holidays....

In my kitchen I have 2 frames hanging with a seasonal art project we have completed. Each child has their own frame. This is what we did for winter...the kids really love the snowman felt boards that they play with, so they wanted to frame it. This is our new framed art... This was our fall art. I love the tree handprint and the leaves are their finget prints. Too cute.

Fun with Nature!

Today is a chilly day, so what better way to enjoy the outdoors (albeit brief :) ) than to go on a scavenger hunt for things we find outside for our art project. We took our bags outside and gathered things up in them (leaves, pine cones, seeds, pine needles etc. ) and then we went inside and glued them on our paper. The kids really loved piling on the glue just to make sure that everything would stick (wink wink).

Fall is here!!!

We have had a busy morning!! The leaves have started to change and it was wonderful to go on a scavenger hunt for leaves and pine cones for our crafts this morning!!

We covered pine cones in peanut butter then sprinkled them with bird seed and hung them on our tree for the birds to eat.

Then we found some pretty leaves to do some crayon rubbings. We just put some leaves under our paper and used some crayons to rub on top of the paper to reveal the leaves underneath.

Finally, we arranged our leaves on some wax paper and ironed them so we could make a fall sun catcher to put on our patio door. Here I sanwiched some leaves in between 2 sheets of wax paper and put a hand towel under the wax paper and a hand towel on top of the wax paper and ironed at a medium setting.

We had so much fun! We love being able to run around outside and enjoy this cooler weather. Our house is really beginning to look like fall!
