When Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing colors, he heard sounds—yes, sounds! As he grew older, he discovered that he was synesthetic—able to hear colors singing and see sounds dancing.  You can learn all about this and more in The Noisy Paintbox by Barb Rosenstock.

Kandinsky is famous for his brightly painted squares and concentric circles and this is just the fodder for a fall greeting card.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1/4″ and 1″ and 2″ hole punch
• Craft paper (assorted fall colors, blue + natural cardstock for tree trunk)
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Plain greeting card & envelope

How To:

• Punch circles in various colors and sizes
• Draw a leafless tree on the cardstock, cut out
• Make a blue square to represent sky
• Use the glue stick to create the collage
