We made trees from colouredcardboard and stood them on cut-downtoilet roll tubes, which made really good bases. With coloured cardboard andglitter cardboard we made purple trees,pink trees and trees with giant apples on them. We have a round paper punch that is great for crafting. These cost about $20but are very sturdy and will last foryears. We put some of our circles on straws with PVA _ cut out felt sheets to make cloud and pond shapes, and used popsicle sticks and beads. The options are endless.
Once all your glued bits are dry you can set up your forest. We used Blu-tack and everything stood up really well for us. We're having fun making different combinations.
