Hello ... FUN!

Tracing the outlines of the shadows is a great way to compare the shapes of the different trees/objects around you, and to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Spring is here! Right?
It's an easy craft without a lot of supplies needed. You should have everything you need at home already. Big paper, little paper, paint, crayons, chalk, it really doesn't matter.
Trace it, then paint it up!
If you keep the pallet basic (two colors per painting works wonderfully) the pictures will always turn out great no matter how experienced the little artist is!
For a less permanent but equally fun activity, grab some sidewalk chalk and trace interesting shadows on the pavement.
