Happy

This weeks unplugged theme is HAPPY. I usually ask the kids for ideas on the theme and this week each of the girls had their own ideas.

Ginger wanted to eat smiley oranges.

Molly wanted to make happy faces outside.  We looked through some  Andy Goldworthy books, (Awesome environmental artist), to get some ideas.

Then we hunted and gathered.

Being able to spend time outside certainly makes me happy!
