Leaves Out
We're happy to share Round 3 of our Family Street Art projects!
For Round One the kids and I painted rocks and spread them out all over town. For Round Two we painted sticks and did the same. We thought for Round Three we'd give leaves a try...
Here are some close ups:
Isaac painted the blue ones, Gracie the oranges, Lily the pinks, and Dad the yellows.
And here are the leaves out in the wild:
AND... here's a special treat! This time we filmed some behind-the-scenes VIDEO:

So clever!
Cute ideas.
Very creative !
Love your leaves..so cool!! Going to steal the idea and do it with my kids :)
what a great idea!
I'm sure this tickled A LOT of people...great job!
Sounds like fun! I'd enjoy that at my age and I'm 68. I'm afraid if I started painting leaves and hanging them around town my kids would worry. Some things you just have to do while you're young.
Crazy fun! So cute! that will put a BIG smile on the face of these lucky finders!
This sweet video just made my day! Love the spontaneous creativity !
I love this, The leaf monsters just make me feel happy. Would you mind if someone copied them?
Go right ahead, Linda!
When we did the first project with rocks, we received all sorts of feedback about people making plans to host their own rock painting parties -- as families, as neighborhoods, as public events at local toy stores and libraries -- and all around the globe (New York... Australia...)
I hope lots of people continue to be inspired to branch out with similar activities! It's a great memory maker:)

Paper projects are always a great idea for kids! Especially when they're so colorful.

Excellente idée !!! Un vrai plaisir pour les enfants (et les parents) du début à la fin, et un peu de joie pour les passants...
Love this and commend such extraordinary family entertainment ... Bringing surprise and smiles to the heart and mind that is open to see it as we hurry through our lives is worth gold... I've done guerrilla art workshops with adults and the generosity of giving art, joy of spreading creativity, beauty, surprise and generosity never ceases to thrill ppl! Bravo to this Momma -these memories are priceless!!!

Would love to try that here in my town. What kind of paint did you use? non toxic? Acrylic?

I love this idea! What kind of paint did you use on the leaves - real leaves - correct? thx dave
Yep real leaves. We collected them and then pressed them between the pages of some books for a while before painting.
And we used Acrylic paints. Those seem to hold up pretty well in outdoor weather.
Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone!
