Oh the fun we have had with all things green. As you can see we went on a "green" treasure hunt and gathered up anything green we could find to decorate the mantle. There are kitchen items, toys, books etc. Then we made some fun crafts.

2. Tape your paper to the bottom of the container
3. Using a spoon or ladle, scoop some balls with a bit of paint into the paper
