Last Saturday afternoon we spent with the children in the park. During fun definitely towered playground, where children played excellently. After all, we managed to find a moment for a short walk in the park. I should add that park full of oaks, and if so, and also the acorns.

We collected acorns and other gifts of nature. Nuts linden, maple noses, and many others. With our collection of fresh, still green acorns, after returning home, there were tiny forest people…

Children grow so fast. Until recently, they wrote the pages of his first crayons, and today they are looking for challenges. Well, at least the walls save … But I suggests to them unusual canvas for their creations. Today – dried leaves, which rise colorful insects.

As announced in a previous post, today we have another idea to use autumn leaves in the art for kids. This time we create pictures of fish in the lead role.

Again, we paint dried leaves. For kids their flat ground surface is easier to paint.

Autumn is my third favorite season. Despite the cold is still some advantages. And these are the colors! The play of light and color on sunny days, yellows, oranges, reds and browns interspersed with deep green. Magic.

Coming back to earth, interesting fruits and seeds ripen in autumn. Many of them can be used for artistic activities for kids. Unusual (I think) example is the Honey locust pods (Gleditshia). Autumn sun gives them a beautiful brown color, and a twisted nature – a character.

This year we decided to re-use Halloween as a theme for arts and crafts for kids. The more that recently theme of bugs and worms became very popular. They were already creatures of acorns and chestnuts, were the insects with autumn leaves and pods, and today – flies from maple seeds. By keeping the Halloween spirit – black and white. For painting natural materials, ie. the maple seed, acrylic paint are the best. Poster paint and tempera do not hold too much, and even the color effect is not too…

This year the fruits of maple enjoy with us an exceptional prosperity. They are unfathomable treasure trove of ideas, though they look so inconspicuous. The flies, dragonflies, butterflies, multi-colored insects and helicopters. And into the bargain, they are said to be edible.
