Thank You Note Thursday Round Two

For this Thank You Note Thursday, we started by making potato stamps using fall leaf and acorn cookie cutters.

We used Crayola washable paints to stamp on white card stock.

Big Brother started out a bit too systematically and Sis was a little more into smearing than stamping.

But Big Brother got the hang of making it random.  Great thing about fall leaf stamps--the inevitable color-mixing added to the effect.

 After they had dried, I trimmed them down and had the kids glue them to precut cards made of brown card stock.

Then we brainstormed people to whom we should send them.  Sis picked Grandma; Big Brother picked his preschool teachers, a helper from church, and Grandpa; I sent one to a friend who let us pick from her fruit trees this summer.

The kids dictated text to me and then added a picture on the inside and Big Brother signed his name.  The cards were lovely and the kids enjoyed every step of the process.
