Playing in the leaves
We once went to Euro Disney (well we have been twice) in Autumn and we had a lovely time at the end we asked Thomas what is favourite bit was and he said "playing in the leaves"!! On the way to and from the park every day we passed through a patch of trees with all the leaves on the ground and we spend ages just playing in the leaves! I was surprised that this was his favourite thing, but it was great fun and just goes to show that it really is the small things!
I love the sound of leaves under foot and kicking them into the air. The boys had an inset day on Monday so when we took the dog for a walk we decided to collect leaves - its hard to get them to be choosey when collecting leaves - they just want to grab a handful, dirt and all!
When we got home the plan was to make some leaf pictures but we ended up having a really busy day and it wasn't until this morning that we had a chance. I would recommend using the leaves on the same day of collection though as they get very brittle.
As we no longer watch TV in the morning there is LOADS of time before school and this morning we got round to using the leaves, although they were a bit dry, I would recommend using them as soon as you have collected them!
All you need is leaves, paper, googly eyes and glue and a bit of imagination!
The boys do love glueing and googly eyes make anything fun!
This is my cat/lion (really sorry that these are upside down I can't seem to change that!!)....
This is Olly's shark....
Thomas's 3D dragon.....
Thomas's stick man on a skate board....
Olly's man on a skateboard (not sure where the leaves or eyes came into this, it is also upside down!!!)...
As always thanks for reading - I actually found out that people other than my mum read this!!
