Do...

  • Get growing!  What can you grow in your garden or back yard?  A sunflower?  Some herbs? 
​
  • Visit the park with an adult, take some paper and a pencil with you and draw the different trees and plants you find.

  • ​Use leaves and twigs to create your own artwork.  Please only use things that have already fallen off plants and trees, don't pick from living things.
