On our way home from school we collected handfuls of twigs, feathers, leaves, pine cones, blackberries and anything else that the children found interesting. We talked about the autumn and the changes that happen during this time of the year.
When we got home I set the children at the table with a large piece of paper, their treasures and some red, yellow and gold paint. I was interested to see what they created without my input.
After smearing blackberries onto the paper, Lulu decided to try painting with a feather.
TJ found a piece of wheat dipped into yellow paint, which in true toddler fashion, he decided to taste. Yuck!
TJ's masterpiece, complete with trademark rip.
