Leafy Wild Things

Last week we made these monsters or "wild things" our of leaf rubbings. They required a lot of help for a 2 1/2 year old. She helped with a few of the rubbings, and pieced them together on a cereal box, but I did the faces and cutting out of the rubbings. It really was a fun project to do together.

We cut them out to give out to family for the fall festivities!

Wild Things

This week we are reading Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Awesome book. I read it over, and over, and over and never tire of the greatness of this book! It is so imaginative and fun, and I keep using the phrase "I'll eat you up, I love you so" as I pretend to eat my children alive! They find it histarical! Yesterday we made crowns from leaves from the tutorial here by Maya of Mayamade: So we got to be the King of the wild things for the afternoon while playing in the freshly raked leaves. This was a GREAT toddler craft as Ana could stick the leaves to the crown herself. Bel was very wild and ripped hers to shreds after she immediately pulled it off her head:

More wild, fall and Halloweenie crafts to come!!!
