You've seen lots of leaf art on kid activity blogs lately (see below for some good links). Why should you be interested in ours? I don't know, except that we took an ultra simple approach. All you need is some glue, paint, paper and, of course, some beautiful autumn leaves.
Since New Kid was snoozing, I was able to get in on the action. I may have had more fun than Kiddo. 
Required reading:
Leaf Man
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves

Enjoy the Autumn leaves before they leave! (so cheesy, I couldn't resist)

Looks like a lot of fun!
goodness, those are gorgeous!
I'm just now getting around to commenting. I really like that idea. Seems basic enough that mine could probably do it, too.
How do you get these great book lists together? I've got all three on reserve at the library now. Do you spend a lot of time gathering the titles? I love the idea.
Nellie: I don't really have a system. I usually get on a subject kick (or Kiddo does) and end up requesting a ton of books on that subject, like leaves or pumpkins in the Autumn, or moons, or something like that. When I write a post I take a look at our bookshelf and see if we have any books that I particularly liked about the subject. Sometimes I have books, sometimes not, and sometimes I just recall some good books we read in the past. It's just a little haphazard... like the rest of my life.
