I decided to do a blog to put ideas about games, crafts, and other activities out there to help you all get fun ideas to do with your little ones. If you're in need of something to do read my posts and post comments to let me know if you had fun with the activity. Thank all of you for reading my blog!

Fall

Fall is upon us. I'm afraid the warm summer air is gone and the cool crisp air has returned. Time to get out your jackets and sweatshirts. As much as we all miss summer we have to think positive about fall. You can jump into large leaf piles, rake leaves, watch football, and do plenty of crafts. If you are in need of a craft I've got some up my sleeve. Some of you may no this one but let me remind you anyway.

Leaf Tracings

  • Take you're kids out and gather some leaves (make sure they're dry
  • Bring them back 
  • Get out some printer paper and some pencils
  • Grab a leaf
  • Make sure it's pretty flat
  • Hold it on the paper with one hand
  • with the other trace it with a pencil
  • continue this until the page is full but make the leaves over lap 
  • Once you're done shave the wrapping off of a red, orange, and yellow Crayola crayon
  • Then shade the paper with the crayons (use all the colors throughout the page)
  • Once your entire page is colored, lightly go over the colors with yellow, orange, and red Crayola Washable paint.
  • Let it dry and then back it with fall colored construction paper and hang it on the wall.
If you've got questions or comments post a comment about it on this post then keep checking for an answer. I'll try and answer A.S.A.P.
    Enjoy!
