Paper exploration.....

Well, here in TX leaves are still falling....we had some fun exploring using leaves as paper! We used a liquid-style ink pen and wrote different words and phrases on leaves. It was a good skill for my little one because if you press too hard, the leaf tears. Also, after you finish writing, you have to blow on the wet ink and not touch it, otherwise it smears! A good lesson in patience! We will continue to explore some other natury papers--maybe we can find some dried grass or even some sticks to write on! We've also had fun painting and stamping on leaves in the past......
