Playing in the leaves with neighbors:
Craft time! I am not a craft person. In fact, I'm the opposite of a craft person-whatever that would be. But, I've been trying to introduce our kids to as much "crafty" stuff as I find do-able on the internet. Here's what we've been able to accomplish so far:Craft #1: Baby food jar pumpkins.
Stuff torn orange paper into an empty baby food jar.
Cut out pieces of black construction paper for the face of the pumpkin and hot glue onto the jar.
Hot glue a twisted pipe cleaner to the lid.
New fall decorations!
Craft #2: marble painted pumpkins.
Cover marble in fall-colored paint and roll around in a box lid. (I haven't done this part yet, but you can laminate them, then put them on a string and hang them somewhere in your house).
Craft #3 (our last one thus far): Paper pumpkins.
I didn't have a chance to take any pictures while these were being made since Levi participated and glue was involved. So, find a printable pumpkin online. Print it and cut it out. Tear up orange construction paper, then glue to the printed pumpkin. Color the stem green.
