Crafting With Oakley

The other day I became inspired after reading Snip and Snail, a blog I read frequently by Laura Gilkey.  She has two boys and is always doing fun things with them.  After reading about her recent art project with her boys I wanted to do the same with Oakley.  We painted with watercolors outside and let the leaves dry made out of coffee filters on the clothesline.  The next day we cut out our tree and leaves then taped it to our living room window.  Every morning we lift up the blinds and see the tree we created then we talk about the fun things Autumn brings.  This was something we will definately be doing again!
