NANA SAYS FALL HAS MANY FUN PROJECTS FOR CHILDREN

Teaching children why leaves turn colour is a great science lesson. A country drive or even finding little woodlots in parks can bring a good show of colour.
Collecting leaves from a variety of trees can help to learn the names.
With some wax paper you can preserve some of the leaves. Simply put a leave between two pieces and iron the wax onto the leaf.
Pine cones can be collected too. The number of little projects is endless. Think of your own or simply key in pine cone projects and many can be found on the internet.
Do you grow grapes? Well the grape vines that need to be trimmed for better growth next year can be used in other projects. A simple grape vine wreath that can be decorated for Fall, Christmas and even Easter is a great backdrop.
Simple twigs and pieces of evergreen trees after Fall trimming are useful too.
Taking pictures with all the colour as a backdrop can be used for those seasonal pictures. No need to go to the photo shops, create your own. With a little scrape booking technique, add your own dates, names and ideas. Even putting a sticker in the corner and then scanning to your favourite photo site you can make your own cards for family.
Fall with its natural Canadian items. Have fun!
