Leaf Monsters

Leaf Monsters With the days getting colder and wetter I have been looking for things to do to entertain Florence indoors! This is a great outdoor/indoor activity combined, and really easy and inexpensive to do. So we head out with rain jackets on, in search of some leaves for this activity, preferably about 3 or 4 in different sizes. Florence loved just being outside and to make it more exciting we did 'The Bear hunt' along the way. When we arrived home there were only a few things I had to get together whilst the leaves were drying. A variety of colours of finger paints. A black pen 4 sheets of paper 4 leaves Apron on, I opened up the paints and let Florence do her thing! I have come to terms not to get to involved, my inner artist has to step back and let it be! Once Florence applied the paint to the leaf, I helped her press it down onto the paper. Once we had done this with all the leaves, we put the paper and leaves aside to dry. We put faces on the leaves as well as the prints, not exactly a work of art but Florence had a great time, and so did I helping her. It is the small things that are sometimes the best,
