Well we are well into our second homeschool week. I'm still so green behind the ears...listening to all sorts of different advice coming from all sorts of directions. It's getting confusing. There are so many different ways to approach this homeschool adventure. I seem to always be second guessing myself....I just feel like I only have one chance to do it right...and if I screw up the world will fall apart! lol. It doesn't sound very likely when I say it out loud! :oP
Anyways, yesterday afternoon we actually had time to squeeze in a fun art project. This project was one of the many that I have planned for the year.
I got the complete instructions from a work book I bought at costco. It's filled with fun art projects for all the different seasons and holidays. :o)
To make the leaf print you start by making a starch/flour dough. The dough becomes very smooth when you knead it for awhile. The kids loved this part. The spent quite a while kneading the dough. Then they rolled it out with a rolling pin. Earlier that day they had picked some green leaves from the trees, which they then used to imprint in the dough. It took a whole day to dry.....and as you will soon see Turtle's LARGE hand print one still needs to dry. :o)
