Blowing Fall Trees

I’m falling in love with That Artist Woman, a art website overflowing with great seasonal ideas.  Truth be told, I’d like to sift through the site and choose some projects for myself if I had the time.  Yesterday we painted fall trees, different than the typical trees ideas I’ve seen before, that look remarkably like the trees in our backyard.  Her instructions are detailed and all of my children we’re able to follow the steps with great results. Okay, I had a great time with the straw and paint as well, but I forgot to take a picture of mine.

If your kids have a sense of mixing colors, let them take the lead in creating the fall colors for the background.  My 7 and almost 9 year old created the colors for our project.
