this week we had nature art camp at dandelion hill. we made so many beautiful crafts!

we pounded flowers and leaves with hammers to make these gorgeous banners. i forgot to take my camera to class that day, so this is a picture of the one i made hanging on our classroom door.

we made these beautiful works by taking a piece of paper out to one of our beloved walnut trees and doing bark rubbings. we then did a watercolor wash over them. i LOVE how they turned out!
jean and i are thinking on the same wave length this week!

some of the children also did rubbings of leaves and flowers we had collected.


i was so excited that we were having camp the week before father's day and would have an opportunity to make a gift for dad. i was inspired by
this post. we sanded the tree slices smooth, hand stamped them, and rubbed them with beeswax polish. hope the daddy's enjoy them!

it was such a joy to have both of my children in camp with me. these days are limited with sienna headed off to first grade next year.....
