Apartment living has not been easy on my soul as the kids and I love to be outdoors. Now that the weather has turned cold again it's been tough to keep motivated, but today I thought we'd fight the elements and try to do a nature walk around our apartment to see what we could see. We grabbed a little grocery sack and picked up leaves, sticks, flowers, grass, even a chunk of asphalt shingle. We were even able to go to a little open lot across the street to find dandelions in all different stages from the little buds all the way to "wish" stages (with the white fluff).
Then we headed back up stairs and broke out the glue and some sheets of paper. Each one of the kids put together their own collage of nature.
They had loads of fun but once they were done (in about 10 minutes) they were wanting to do something else....I need my craft idea books before too long or these guys are going to go crazy with me.
