Fall Art Kit
October 1st, 2007 at 1:55 pm by Hope (Homeschooling, Nature)
I purchased one of them from Hearts and Trees and we started using it today.
This is my leaf rubbing with the kanji for “leaf.” I just happened to run across that kanji in Eve Kushner’s post over at Jpod101 blogs. I wonder if there’s anyway (besides the iron paper for your printer) to get this on a T-shirt? Oooh, no a mug! I know where to do that. 
Here are the kids nature journals. I made an additional one for Jessie based on the one included in the art kit. The first page contains a checklist of things you might find on a nature walk. Sam enjoyed this much more than I expected! I thought belatedly that I should have done Jessie’s with Pictures rather than the words. Oh well. She had a great time checking off her squares. 
The other activity we did today (or rather Sam did) was make the origami dog. Here’s a picture of Sam posing with (or like) his creation.

Wow, I popped over here to say hello and look what you did! I’m so glad you all participated…..that is totally what my daughter had in mind with her art kits. I love your leaf. I ended up coloring mine in with colored pencils….crazy colors.
Thanks for sharing, I think Amanda wants to link from her blog to yours so others can see what families are doing with the kits.
