Leaf Sewing |
We are incredibly blessed to live in a house with a gorgeous backyard. Several years ago as Kevin and walked around Meijer Gardens' botanical greenhouse with the kids, he said with longing in his voice, "This is so wonderful and such an amazing slice of the tropics, someday I would love for them to experience the fullness of the actual tropics." Here we are in a place we never dreamed of, surrounded daily by a countless variety of plants and birds. Just using the bounty of our backyard here are some of the projects we have worked on:
- Flower identification
- Using watercolors to paint pictures of leaves
- Measuring leaves
- Making predictions and observations about their smell and feel
- Observing the variety of shades of green- its actually pretty amazing!
