I think even the simple task of going and collecting leaves and showing her the different colours is fun enough. Keely has loved gluing things down for a long time now and you can get her to stick them on the paper. You can also put cotton wool balls for clouds too, that is always fun, especially if she loves the whole gluing thing! <br /><br />Welcome to the blog too! xLittle Pinwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056174055525454288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-85253723839589015692010-03-08T17:16:33.878+11:002010-03-08T17:16:33.878+11:00Oh fantastic, Kellie and Hayley!

My daughter is 3 and a half, I wonder if she'd "get" it?Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131298922220744016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-87363819226844616312010-03-08T13:55:31.288+11:002010-03-08T13:55:31.288+11:00Great idea Hayley!

They would use the sponge to 'dab' the paint on for texture. <br /><br />Once dry, they would scrunch the leaves to give them a crumpled look. <br /><br />On a separate piece of paper they wouyld use the same sponging technique to create a sky background. I would put out blue and white and they would combine these to make the background. Using white gave them the chance to tint and we would always end up with lots of different shades of blue skies. <br /><br />When everything was dry, my students would then glue the leaves onto the background to create a 3D effect of Autumn leaves falling (leaves would just have glue in the centre so they did not sit flat against the sky. <br /><br />Very easy and result was always beautiful. Also introduces children to 'tinting', primary and secondary colours, dimension and different painting techniques. <br /><br />I should give it a go with Poppy this year. Will send in pics if I do.Kelliehttp://www.ministylehive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-11458649289633213242010-03-08T10:44:55.126+11:002010-03-08T10:44:55.126+11:00you are so crafty hayley, i love what you do with ...you are so crafty hayley, i love what you do with your kids, you seem very patient too! i love your photo's of the craft on the line xxBec Watts | Yummy Mummies & Mini Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838395211860545271noreply@blogger.com
