This morning the girls and I took a little nature walk behind our house. We live on the edge of town, down a culdesac, and have a large pasture directly behind our privacy fence. It's kind of the best of city and country living, which was a huge reason we decided to buy this house. I even brought my almost 6 month old along in the jogging stroller.
We gathered leave, flowers, and plants that looked interesting to us, and stuck them in the storage compartment on the stroller so they didn't get crushed or blow away.
We are saving the leaves to try out some leaf stamping later. For now we are working on making some beautiful plant prints. We got two sheets of white paper and layed our flowers and stems between them, then placed them on a foam mat and started pounding them with a small hammer. This is what we ended up with -
These are fun, pretty, and not messy at all! Its A great way to create ornate cards and invitations or add decoration to envelopes when sending letters.
