Autumn Fun: Leaf Art Project for Kids and Adults


It's that time of year again...YAHOOOO! The leaves are turning colors and are beginning to fall from the trees.  Why not grab a few of them next time you are outside for this fun sensory project?  You can go also on a nature hike to gather leaves/weeds which is what we did.  Leaf art can not be any easier to do with your wee ones.  Eugene dipped the leaves in paint and went crazy.  We leaf-stamped, used the weeds as a paint brush and got messy with the paint.  The point of this project is to use different textures to create a design and introduce your child to using nature as a tool.  The end results are always awesome.  I ended up framing Eugene's work and he is so proud of himself! Enjoy

Introducing The Artist...Janet Hill










I have something sweet & fun to share with you today, dear ones.  I came across this über talented artist on Etsy today & she is too wonderful not to brag about on my blog.  Janet uses oils in her paintings & coming from an artist who paints, this is a ridiculously difficult medium to work in!  Her whimsical style of painting captures the child in me, yet her subject matter makes me want to get all gussied up & go to some fancy ball.  I think you will know what I mean after you take a peak at Janet Hill's work.  Enjoy!
