Tree construction

Spring forth creativity from brown craft paper, plastic grocery bags, and packing bubbles! Hey, why not construct or shall I say "grow" a tree indoors? Let us make it floor to ceiling too.


Crumple with artistic ferocity.
 
 
 
 
 Staple happy and forming a grand tree trunk.
 
 
 
 
 
Not bad for a child who does not like heights very much...now start stuffing until you can not stuff anymore!
 
 
 
 
Branch making 101: do the twist!
 
 
 

Our lovely Giving Tree before leaves.

    Thank you Jennifer. And believe it or not, the room we have the tree in is super small.

    Thank you Jessica. Our room is going through another transformation & in disarray, but the tree is still there.
