Fall Activities

We have been doing some fall activities and I have a couple more planned.
We went on a walk and picked out colorful leaves
Then we glued them to make a leaf collage.  Amelia had lots of fun picking out what leaves were going to be used.
Isabelle was an onlooker and provided moral support.
The finished product!  Amelia was so proud and made sure we hung it in a place she could see it.
 
The next activity was decorating a pumpkin.
 The kit was a potato head concept which is really great, since Amelia can re-do her pumpkin over and over.
 Once the holes were punched - Amelia went at it.  It seemed only the hat was consistently placed :)
 Amelia - proud of her work! (Note the blocks on the head - very intentionally placed)
I'm planning on carving up the other pumpkin and making the pumpkin seeds - I think it will be good for her to get the goo all over.
We also did a melting crayons between wax paper, but that activity didn't go over as well as the others.  I think Amelia is a little young yet - though she loves to look at it hanging in the window!
