Coffee Filter Autumn Leaves

Grace made autumn leaves this morning using coffee filters, markers, and water. Grace first used markers to color coffee filters the color of autumn leaves - red, orange, yellow, brown, and green. Next, Grace sprayed the colored coffee filters with water from a spray bottle in order to blend the colors together. This was her favorite part. Once the coffee filters dried I cut them out into maple leaf shapes. Grace's autumn leaves turned out to be so beautiful!

Who would have guessed at the versatility of coffee filters?!

Grace, the colors you chose and the way you watered them together make these leaves as pretty as the prettiest leaves on the trees. They are fabulous! And a good thing about them is that they won't shrivel up like the real ones, but will look beautiful for a long, long time.

Love you, Ms. Grace the Artist,
