Collecting seeds in the woods resulted in imaginative creations.
My son designed a pine cone bird with a sweetgum head.
My daughters made acorn dolls with green hair and silk flower dresses.
On our next adventure, we hope to gather leaves. Last year the leaves rotted brown. If the rusty patinas are missing again, we will make our own color with these crafts:
- Salt Dough Leaf Magnets
- Melted Crayon Stained Glass Window
- Nature Luminary Candle Holders
- Yarn Painting
- Fall Fingerprint Trees
Next on the agenda, haircuts.
What are you creating this season?
Renae homeschools her three children laying Christ as the foundation of all subjects. She enjoys children's literature and delights in the daily discovery of truth.
When her children are grown, she intends to go back to school to officially become a teacher, so she can inspire more generations to live in liberty. She will also finish at least half of the scrapbooks and sewing projects she started.
Renae writes about life and learning at Life Nurturing Education.

Found you though Twitter. Great blog. I’ll subscribe.
I love it!! What did you use for the doll’s hair?
Mandy,
Thanks! We just used yarn for hair, and green was all we had. I actually wrote a tutorial: Acorn Fairies.
