With all those beautiful leaves falling outside we decided to collect a few and have some fun with them.
Drying them off
First we tried the idea of putting a leaf between two pieces of white paper and coloring over it to see it's unique shape appear under the crayon. That worked great but only mommy could color hard enough to get the leaf to show through.
Cut out and ready for the window.
The two little men were just having fun taring paper and Phi loves projects that involve glue so , we scribbled all over a piece of paper, tore it into bits, and then proceeded to glue each bit onto a leaf pattern traced on another paper.
Gluing...
Gluing...
gluing ...
gluing and...
Ta da.
Didn't come out half bad for an almost 3 year old.This ones mommy's.
We had fun anyway!!

Very cute! We have done the leaf rubbings but never did the cutting out part...we'll have to try that! Crafts with young children require so much mommy involvement, but what great fun they have doing them.
Love your background too!
