Fall Art Project

Pin It now! Since it's November and Halloween has passed I of course had to take down our Halloween decorations, which meant I also had to put away Dawson's Happy Halloween art project that we did a few weeks ago. I had it hanging on the fridge and after I took it down the fridge looked so bare! Looking at his art project everyday made me happy, so I decided we needed to make something else to hang on the fridge.

I did most the work this time, but I couldn't have done it without Dawson. :-)

Here is what we used for our Fall project:

Construction paper, tissue paper squares, glue, scissors
and not pictured -- a pencil, a marker and Dawson's arm. :-)

And here is what we turned it all in to:


I traced Dawson's arm from just below the elbow all the way down to his fingers. Boy was that hard! It took me at least 5 tries before I got something we could use. And I tried to spread his fingers out a little to make the tracing more "tree like" but that wasn't happening. Anyway, as you can see his arm is the tree and I used tissue paper for the fallen leaves. His little arm is so cute! :-)

You probably noticed that the right side of the paper is pretty plain. That's because I have another little project planned for later this week or maybe next week and I am going to add it to this one. I'll definitely be posting it here when it's all finished. I'm excited to see how it's going to turn out.

This art project was inspired by 2 other projects that I recently read about in 2 fabulous blogs! You can check out those projects at My Bilingual Boys and Funny Days with Mommy and Maddie.
