Grade 4-6 students made these lovely falling leaves watercolour paintings using liquid watercolours. I was inspired by THIS post on Pinterest- no source is given. I cut some manila tagboard (cheap!) in half and students drew a leaf of their choice on it. They needed to include a stem and draw the veins on. Once cut out, this was their tracer. *I encouraged the older students (Grade 6) to draw a more challenging leaf, such as a maple or oak. Grade 4 students mostly drew the simpler leaves. I cut 12 x 18" heavy white paper in half vertically. Students used their leaf tracer and traced it a bunch of times onto the paper. They need to overlap some of them and I also encouraged the used of a diagonal composition which helps give a sense of movement or falling leaves. Once traced, the leaves and veins were outlined in Sharpie. Liquid watercolors have become one of my favorite art media. They are not as convenient as regular palette watercolors but they are just so beautiful to paint with; much more vibrant (at least mine are). Although I store mine in condiment cups that are placed in tempera puck trays, there is at least one spill per class. So I have cloths handy to wipe up spills. The kids started off by painting the leaves using warm colours. They were encouraged to use the wet-on-wet technique and allow the colours to bleed together. The next class, once the leaves were dry, they painted the background using cool colours. Here are some of the finished ones- these are much more vibrant in person. My new camera phone takes terribly dull and washed out photos!

I am so excited for the Halloween season to begin! Halloween really feels like the beginning of the holiday season which is my absolute favorite time of the year! I love everything about fall from the pumpkin spice flavors to clear blue skies and rainbow colors of changing leaves. Maybe a little bit of me loves fall because once Halloween is over it's pretty much Christmas time in my books (this is a moment I will say #sorrynotsorry). Of course we still celebrate Thanksgiving... we just do it with Christmas decor up! No shame in my holiday decorating game. Anyway, Halloween has always been one of my favorite seasons to decorate for! I don't know if it is because my husband and I moved into our first house together during the Halloween season so I get a bit nostalgic when pulling out old decorations or just the whimsical aspect of all of the decor. It feels like you cannot go wrong! Nothing is off limits with Halloween decorations. This year, I wanted to step up our front porch game for Halloween decorations. I was 'pinspired' by The Polka Dot Chair to create these hanging witch hats! I am so glad I found this idea because it is so magical and fun! Let's get started! What you will need: - Witch hats (I used 6) - Clear string or fishing line - Wood beads (any sort of bead would do- I just happened to have these from another project) - Battery Operated Tea Lights - Tacs or Outdoor command strips The first thing you will want to do is measure your string. I started with about three feet per hat to give me some give and take when hanging the hats. Then, I tied one end around the flame of the tea light. I measured exactly how low I wanted the tea light to hang inside of the hat. Then, I placed a wood ball where I wanted to create a 'stopper'. There are a lot of things that could work for this step but I just happened to have these on hand and they were the perfect size to fit at the end of the hat. This next part would have been easier had I had a sewing needle on hand but I could not find one so I simply turned the hats inside out and cut a very very VERY small hole to start feeding the line through. Then I turned the hats right side out and pulled tight! Super easy to reach up under each hat at night to turn the tea lights on/off! Next was hanging the hats. I started by trying command strips but because our porch ceiling does not have a smooth finish (and because I forgot to get 'outdoor' strips) they did not last so I resorted to using tacs. I simply did a double not loop around each tac! I just love how they turned out! Such a fun, whimsical way to add some Halloween decor to your porch! How do you decorate your porch for fall?
