Fun with Leaves

Hi Friends!

Looking for some fun crafts to try with the abundance of lovely leaves and other natural supplies out there?  We've been busy collecting and pressing, and today we finally got to get crafty with our autumn collection!  Check out what we made:

Leaf fairy and doggie friend.  Woof!

Classic!  Waxed paper leaf art. 
These'll definitely be hanging up somewhere...so pretty!

Leaf rubbings.
 

We wanted to do some splatter painting with the leaves too, but ran out of time for today.  Maybe tomorrow!  There are so many fun things you could make with leaves and the other natural stuff we collected...what are some of your creative fall crafts?

That's all for now...see you soon!

Apple Fun

Hi Friends!

Apples are plentiful right now, so we decided to share a couple of our favorite ways to use 'em. 

* Go apple picking!

 

 * Paint with apples!

We sliced some apples in different directions (from top to bottom, side to side, etc.) to try to get different shapes, and especially the little star shape that is made from the seeds.  Unfortunately, this shape didn't show up very well when we painted with our apples.  Oh well!  Still fun to get messy and use a painting tool other than a brush!

 

 * Make pie!

 No explanation needed :)


* Craft a doll!

We haven't made a doll yet, but it's on my apple crafting bucket list!  These instructions are from a book called Fun-to-Make Nature Crafts which I got from a school book order ages ago.  I've also seen other books with instructions, craft books and otherwise. Check out your library for some other examples!

 

We've had lots of fun with our apples - what apple crafts do you enjoy doing? 

 

Stay tuned next week for Fiddle & Frog's first giveaway!!!
