We had a ghost project planned, but for some reason I feel ready to move past Halloween. (What's wrong with me? This is new..) SO, we created something beautiful.♥
We gave the kids some construction paper in red, brown and yellow. They were each given the job of tearing up their paper into small pieces. They didn't know why, yet.
This was great for the little ones! We are usually trying to keep them from tearing the project, but this time it was no problem.
I liked that this took some time and thought. They had plates to store the pieces on.
Beforehand, I cut out some yellow construction paper leaf shapes. To keep things simple, I added glue for them so they could focus on the placement of their paper pieces. The idea was to cover up all of the yellow.
This was easy for the little ones, too. The only problem we encountered was that the kids did not like getting the glue on their fingers. Because I had squeezed it out everywhere, it was inevitable that they would touch it. That's ok because we had one more excuse to go wash our hands. Boy have these kids all been fighting off illness lately!!
They worked hard to try to keep the pieces inside of the shape so as not to lose the leaf shape.
See?? We glued each leaf to a green piece of paper.
♥♥♥Beautiful!! Happy Monday!♥♥♥
I hope you all had a great weekend, we sure did. We were blessed by a wedding and then some dear friends were baptized after church service. God is doing amazing things. I pray that all of our eyes are open to see them this week. ♥
