Leafy Trees Collage
TheSquirrel and I took a stroll in our backyard and had a scavenger hunt for nature objects like leaves, crabapples, a purple flower, a yellow flower, a clover, a walnut, etc. We pressed some leaves flat until the next day we could make these tree collages. (This was a few weeks ago when some leaves were falling but not all had changed color yet.) She sort of did what I did--hers is above and mine is below.
As I picked the orange papers for mine, she wanted pink for hers and I think pink turned out better-looking! The cutest thing is that when she was adding those tall thingys, she wanted to kindof "plant" them right into her "ground" by tucking them under the grass shape she glued down.

Now that the leaves are pretty much at peak color where we live,
here is something else I made with leaves!

Fun idea. We have tons of leaves in our yard now - we'll have to try something creative with them.
(while at the same time keeping them out of Cabot's reach so he doesn't eat them.)

haha you mean do you have a baby along with Riley? I have a taste-everything-you-find-baby :) My 3yearold and i do the crafts mostly while the baby naps.
Hi -
Yes, we have Cabot also and he just turned 1 year old last month. One of his nicknames is piranha becasue he bites (hard!) and puts everythign he gets his hands on in his mouth. (we also call him the little vacuum) Cabot gets chunks out of things that you wouldn't even think are possible, and just the other day he bit right through a kids chewing/teething toy and it all leaked out!
How old is your baby? It's crazy trying to keep things out of their mouth isn't it. (=

hahaha
our baby will be 1 year old at the end of next month :)
