\"Leaves<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For years, my son would collect leaves on our walks. He would nestle them into the bottom of the stroller until they overflowed, and heaven forbid you try to remove them, even when he wasn’t looking. If you asked him why he was collecting them, he’d tell you “for my craft,” which he pronounced as “for my crap.” We never did make a craft with all of those leaves. I’m still not sure what craft we were even supposed to be making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year, I atoned. We collected both leaves and Pinocchio noses and made a craft, or halloween<\/a> art, as the kids are now calling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up calling maple seeds Pinocchio noses. My kids also call them helicopter seeds. They’re all over our neighborhood. The only trick was finding ones that had that coveted bat shape. So many of them break when they hit the sidewalk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For leaves, we looked for all the different shapes we could find — oval, maple, round, etc. The kids had a blast finding different shapes and sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
