My 3 year old granddaughter Chloe visits me for the day every Wednesday.
She found a new thing she likes to do at NaNa's. In the afternoon when it is warmer and sunny but the grass is still wet, we go outside to the front walk to chalk.
She loves finding sticks and since the leaves are falling and gathering on the ground she has found some other new"natural" play things.
Gathering them up, she makes a pile.
There must be a variety of leaves. Once the leaves are gathered from the ground she pulls them off of plants and trees. Those are special and funny because it makes NaNa scream! Like the leaves from the already bloomed Iris!
Then start chalking. You have to be precise and diligent in your work.
Getting the chalk on just right.
Finish them off with a jab here and a jab there with the stick.
Beautiful!
Happy Fall!
AnnMarie xoxo

Yes, Chloe, you should be proud of a good job!

Chloe is a doll, AnnMarie (she has one of my favorite names). She's quite an artist, too. Great photos of your precious girl. Have a great weekend. ~ Nancy

Oh this is so cute! My girls love leaves and chalk too, hadn't thought of combining the two, but will give it a try, thanks for a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pics of your granddaughter. I like her fall project with the leaves and chalk, very cute!
ReplyDeleteDear AnnMarie, How sweet. These are beautiful memories being made. Have a beautiful weekend. Catherine
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful memories you are helping Cloe make. A delightful budding artist.
ReplyDeleteHow precious! Reminds me so much of my little Saydee. She too loves bits of nature, as do I. Chloe is a girl after my own heart. Very creative little thing! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
