Exploring, Playing & Creating with Leaves

Oh, Happy Leafy Fun Day!


Our Leafy Godmother 
(a.k.a Joyce from Dinosaurs & Octopuses)
sent the Lil Divas a package full of Fall Leaves
in many wonderful sizes, shapes & colors.


They were beyond thrilled with this unexpected treasure
(I kept the secret! Yay, me!)

They spent whole afternoons engaged with these leaves
doing leaf rubbings,



making leaf collages,


creating leaf people


that turned into works of art


Can you guess which Disney Princess this is?

and making leaf prints in play dough.


The Lil Divas also enjoyed role playing that they were 
Fall Trees losing their leaves. Leaves were cascading down 
from atop our couches onto the ground!

A special thank you to Joyce for providing us 
with the means to explore leaves in these fun ways.

Tomorrow we have a "dreamy" craft to share with you 
that we are very excited about.

  9. These are SO adorable. What a great way to use the thousands of leaves on the ground that my husband keeps cursing at ;)
