Taking Time Tuesday~ Leaf Crafts
Today was our second Taking Time Tuesday and it was great! I have decided that although summer is over, there is no reason to give up our fun crafts and trips together!!!! So I have made Tuesday our day to have fun together!
Today’s fun linked into our theme really well and also offered lots of free art time! I invited some friends over to join in the fun! I put out a bunch of art supplies for the kids to choose from and told them that we were making leaves! The favorite work was the clay! I had so nice air drying clay from Crayola and I had a template of a leaf for the girls to trace. Before I knew it the flat leaves were turning into pinch pots!!! Then there were tons of other great creations! Next they hit the felt! I helped cut our leaf shapes and they glued googly eyes, sparkles, buttons, and beads onto them! They were so very colorful! I love it when kids really get into art and create their own creations! Here are some pictures of the work!

That does look like a lot of fun!
I just make sure we have a lot of down time when we’re not out and about. I keep books and blogs around to jump off of and get inspiration, and the fun is sure to follow!
