We are toadally grateful to Kim Schueller for planning and providing for a wonderful artsy event. Mme Toad had a lovely time watching the goings on.
Tis a busy fall at Toad House so the Toads are especially grateful to Amanda Wilmot for taking and sending beautiful photos from the Toadally Artsy Kids' Event. Here are a few favorites.

This one, from the Enchanted Woods, warms Mme. Toad's heart. |
|
And this one too, "Place your hand upon the
magic rock and promise you will never litter." |
To start the activity, we chose a prepared muslim fabric with leaves outlined in gel glue. The gel glue is Kim's variation on the traditional hot wax of batik. We then spritzed on a little water to wet a leaf.
|
Spritz on 'just a little bit ' of water. |
Now we chose fall leaf colors to paint the insides of our leaves.
|
Then we add fall color to the leaves on our muslim wall hanging |
After spritzing the outside of the leaf patterns, we painted background colors for our fall leaves.
|
We love our blue sky and our orange and red leaves. |
And when it is all done, and when the last toad cookie and the last lemonade has been consumed...
|
Isn't it just great to find a toad stool to sit upon and contemplate the wonder of it all. |
