Leaf Collection and Collage (& Outdoor Play Party)

Leaf collecting and collage

Welcome to another Outdoor Play Party!  If you've been outdoors playing with kids then please do link up.  This week we did a bit of leaf collecting in the garden, plenty of leaves to choose from as you can't actually see the grass for leaves at the moment!  But, Little Dude who had been ill early in the week seemed to enjoy the opportunity to be outdoors.

Here is the man himself kindly pointing out that, 'yes' we do have lots of leaves in the garden!  The ones on the grass were a bit damp so we opted to collect the ones by the house.

Plus of course a few sticks and stones got picked up on the way.  None of my kids seem to have the ability to walk past a stick without picking it up!

Then once we had enough leaves we were back inside for a bit of collage.  Lots of concentration going on here!  He's a bit of a dab hand with the old glue stick.

And here is our finished article.  OK so its not going to win any awards, but this was all led by Little Dude and he was quite pleased with his efforts.  Plus of course it got us outside on a bit of a miserable day, not for too long, but we did venture out - hooray!

What have you been up to?  Stuck for ideas on what to do outside?  Well my favourite post linked up last time may be able to help as Mummy, Musings and Mayhem share some Easy Ways to Play Outdoors.


If you've played outdoors with kids this week then please do share what you've been up to.  Linking up gives hosts permission to share one photo with a link on social media.
