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.
