We saw some interesting trees and plants along our walk. It's strange how you miss these things even though you've walked this area MANY times!
For a fun, new twist, we brought in a bucket of snow and made snow sculptures, "painting" them with food coloring. COOL fun! (I couldn't resist the pun! LOL)

paint snow...hmmm! I almost wish it would snow again. Well, maybe not I am enjoying the 65 degree temp. I will have to save that idea for next year.
ReplyDeletelooks like lots of fun!!!!
ReplyDelete{so ready for spring!}
Look at your family out there in all that snow! Great job getting outside and taking time to notice your neighborhood...you are so very right....we do miss things unless we slow down a bit and open our eyes to notice the little things like the trees and moss.
ReplyDeleteLove the art/nature study project with the snow! Thanks so much for sharing your challenge this week.
I love the dyed snow sculptures! We still have a ton of snow, so we could give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteThose snow sculptures look so very cool!
