fall windows

Last weekend I wanted to do something at home to welcome the fall season. To invite fall into our house.

Sophia and her dear friends from next door were ready to do this little project with me.

They grated and sharpened crayons on wax paper.

I then added another sheet of wax paper and ironed everything, for the crayons to melt.

I printed out a leaf coloring page and traced it onto the melted crayon paper. The girls then set out to cut them all out.

Together they are now twirling through the air.

A fitting poem the children at school are learning right now:

Little leaves fall gently down

Yellow and Orange, Red and Brown;

Twirling, twirling round and round,

Quietly without a sound

softly falling to the ground

down and down and down and down.

We move our hands and arms, twirl and end all together on the floor in child's pose.
