Unfortunately we had to miss a week of toddler French as I had laryngitis and no voice :0( last Friday though with my voice almost back to normal we were back in full swing for our third and final autumnal themed week ( this week we will be starting our Christmas themed songs and crafts 🎅).
My plan had been to collect lots and lots of autumn leaves for our toddlers to paint and then make print paintings with. The weather Gods were against me though as autumn so far has been wet and rainy rather than crisp and cold resulting in leaves that were just a big soggy mush and not suitable for printing with.
Back to the drawing board and Little Imp was still very keen to have a painting craft so I decided that we would instead create our own autumn tree paintings using our fingerprints to make the autumn leaves.
The toddlers had a range of foam and bristle brushes and foam rollers to choose from to help them paint the tree trunk and branches, they then finger-painted the leaves onto and around their trees. Some of them chose to add extras to their paintings as well like hedgehogs, robins and snowmen. The final results were, I'm sure you'll agree, fantastic:
Happy singing and crafting and see you next week with some fabulous festive tunes :0) 🎅
