Nature Paint outside

Today while we were getting ready to go outside to paint, I thought.. How can I make this more interesting for her? How can I expand on the outdoor painting experience? While gathering our paint and brushes, K grabbed her scissors and asked to cut. That's it! We brought her scissors out as well, and she cut grass, dandelions and lilacs. So we put her cuttings and some mud in cups and mixed them up with paint to creat Nature Paint. :) So simple and fun.
