Blow Paint Trees

We dont get those beautiful fall colors in Florida. There are very few maple trees in our place and also since the cold sets in pretty late here, those trees too take a long time to show the fall colors. And sometimes because of  the rain or wind, they all do fall off within a day or 2 before we can even enjoy them:(
Its not yet very cold here, but leaves are falling off the trees and Putti loves the crunchy sound of them when she walks over them.
This post  at That Artist Woman inspired me to try it out with Putti. I put some watered down black paint on the card stock and showed putti to blow it with a straw. It was a bit difficult for her.

Yet, she did not want to give up completely. We both took turns in blowing the paints. After it dried, she loved making leaves with her fingertips dipped in paints. She really loved this part.

Completely changed Fall color leaves 

She loved it so much, that we made two more trees.

Fall colors just beginning to appear...

The tree after all its leaves are fallen off

These adorn her room walls now:)

Books that we read this week are Why do leaves change color' and "The four seasons 'fall' "
