Craft With Your Kids Week: Project Four

By

I took my kids up one of the canyons near us last week, so we could play in the leaves and collect some for a simple craft.

It was beautiful.  Not as colorful as some years, but still gorgeous and so refreshing to be in such pretty surroundings.

Even Little Miss B got into the Leaf Fight they had.  DSCF2486

Little Miss B is even throwing leaves on her own head:). DSCF2517

I’d say the time spent together gathering the leaves was the best part about this craft!DSCF2466

  2. Looks like a blast! We tried to do this craft with a group of three year olds at Bible Storytime a few weeks back, the leaf collecting was definitely the best part, especially considering that they all smushed the leaves into smithereens trying to shove as any as possible into their tiny fists. They didn’t ‘get’ that you didn’t have to be able to close your fist around the poor leaves! Very cute though, lots of fun.

  3. That looks like such fun, but alas, my kids will never experience that. I live in the frozen tundra, and we don’t have trees… It’s frozen and people are ice fishing right now, so that was the “craft” I did with my kids yesterday! :)

    I wonder if I could order leaves from somewhere!!!

  5. Oh I miss those Utah mountains. NOTHING like them in the fall. Sigh. Looks like fun. What little kid doesn’t enjoy a big pile of leaves to kick through or jump in.

    Maybe I should be crafting with my kids instead of just for them…ah halloween costumes!
