I volunteer with a girl scout troop in Easton and today was our first time of the semester to go down and see the troop. When I got down the Boys and Girls club I was pleasantly surprised that our craft was centered around celebrating the beginning of fall. To celebrate we went on a nature walk with the kids and collected the leaves that have already fallen off the trees. It was nice to take the time out of the day to walk outside and it was a fun experience to be outside with elementary school aged kids and hear their perspectives and thoughts about nature. When we finished our walk we took the leaves and used crayons to make leaf rubbings. After we used mod podge and glued some of the leaves we found on to our pictures. Below are some of the pictures the girls in the troop made. It was a nice little encounter with nature.
