Have you entered to
win your copy of
The Artful Year ~ Autumn yet? On Friday we had a little after-school "welcome fall" party, using a couple ideas from this creative e-book...
I made the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins - so yummy, and really easy to throw together. I had everything I needed already in my kitchen! *Bonus... the whole house smelled like fall.*
Also a treat for the senses, I made a batch of pumpkin pie playdough using the recipe in The Artful Year ~ Autumn. (One batch made
a lot!) I divided it up among my girls and my nephew and gave them each a bowl of dried black beans to use for making jack-o-lantern pumpkins from the warm, sweet-smelling dough. Another great idea!
And because I simply can't seem to do a craft project without a bit of nature, I provided a few small sticks from the yard to use as stems. This project kept all three kids (4, 8 & 10) busy for about an hour!
A few of their creations...
This skull, made by my nephew, is filled with "bean brains"... everyone had to take turns sticking their fingers in it to feel them!

Hi there!
It sounds a nice time!
Autumn always comes together with a cozy feeling: we'll be altogether again, around the table, sipping hot tea and chatting and crafting and reading... Windows can be closed, so it's a more silent time, more calm days... Family days!
:)
What a fun activity! I love the idea of starting a "Welcome Fall" party tradition with the little ones. Their pumpkins turned out great. :)
Lovely!! I love the bean brains -- so creative, like his aunt! :)
