The trees across the parking lot from the Kindergarten playground continue to change their colours. \u00a0They\u2019re beautiful and often our attention is drawn to them. \u00a0Their leaves change colour, the wind and the rain help them fall to the ground and from there they turn to dirt. \u00a0\u201cThe leaves are making a home for the plants,\u201d said a child. \u00a0Another gift from the tree!<\/p>\n

Leaves can be dipped in wax to preserve their shapes and colours. \u00a0Luckily, I know a few bees who had some honeycomb to share. \u00a0(Beeswax can also be bought at your local craft supply store.)<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

We took a looked at the wax before and after a few hours in the crockpot and then it was time for dipping!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Now the leaves are soft and their colours are brighter still. \u00a0And they\u2019ll be like that for as long as we are gentle with them.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Some leaves for us to play with and enjoy, some for the dirt to help more trees and plants grow. \u00a0How do you enjoy theses gifts from the trees?<\/p>\n

Hycha\u2019ka bees and trees!<\/p>\n
