This is one of my new favorite books of the season, Leif and the Fall. I happen to have a nephew named Leif, and pronounced “Leaf”, so my sis @rebeccalazenbyarchitect needs to get this book on his shelf pronto! It’s such a sweet book about dedication and not being afraid to fail. I have added this book to my #amazonidealist at the link in my bio. Click “my favorite supplies” if you want to take a peek!

REDUCE*REUSE*RECYCLE! I finally dwindled down my stash of plastic tops and lids today with one of my favorite fall projects. Stay tuned!

The 2021-22 school year is in full swing and October gets kicked off with some spider art! Kindergarten used some scrap painted paper to create these adorable spiders inspired by Eric Carle’s #theverybusyspider. What seasonal art are you making right now?

Eric Carle will surely be missed! He has made a huge mark in the world of children’s literature and art. His picture books have provided so much inspiration for my lessons over the years and was a beloved author of my daughters.

Greetings my fellow art lovers. It’s me, Lisa, back from an unintentional IG break. My last post was in July so it’s been a minute! This year was a lot, wasn’t it?! My brain has been overloaded and I focused less on documenting.
