Come along with the Castros and make a wax paper nature collage...

While checking out my new online addiction, Pinterest, I came across this fun and easy craft. I knew Maddox would love it because it started with collecting leaves, flowers, and anything else outside we could find. It was a windy day which worked in our favor because we found many flowers that had blown off of trees and bushes that we were able to collect. Along our journey, Maddy couldn't resist picking up rocks and then stopping for a little break dancing. That will have to be a future blog post, as it is his new favorite activity (and it's quite interesting). After we collected everything we came inside and arranged everything on a sheet of wax paper. I arranged the grass first to frame the area in which he placed the other pieces. After everything was in place I then carefully laid another sheet of wax paper on top and carefully ironed them together. When you hold them up to the sun they create this wonderful, natural piece of art (and oh so cute).
