Celebrate Autumn: Leaf Painting

| October 29, 2013

When the big storm had passed yesterday we ventured out to play. Off to the park we went to admire the stunning colours of the leaves on the trees, armed with a paper bag for collecting some of the beautiful autumn leaves that lay on the ground.

Imogen was drawn to the rich green and yellow colours.

Back at home, Imogen couldn’t wait to paint pictures of the leaves.

We painted the leaves, stamped patterns on the paper and painted over the leaves to show the different shapes. We have some delightful new additions to Imogen’s art wall.
