Craft: Fall Art

     I had a bunch of coffee filter paper left over from a paper chromatography chemistry lab. I found this delightfully fun idea for a watercolor look fall leaf over at The Chocolate Muffin Tree. Simply beautiful idea. Basically, you gather all your tots around and let them at it with the washable markers. After cutting the filter paper open to one flat piece, let them color on the textured side of the paper. Then take a spray bottle of water and let them spray away at their colored paper. The colors will blend together and create beautiful patterns on your filter paper. Then take the paper outside to dry in the sun. When they are completely dry, cut fall leave shapes out and display for all to see. Quite a gorgeously simple project.
