Activity

Now that it's spring there's lots of new growth in evergreen trees and deciduous trees (those that are losing their leaves in winter are getting their leaves back). Next time you're out for a walk gather up leaves from various trees and bushes, such as Eucalypts or gum trees, Photinias as well as ferns and needles.

Use the leaves you have found to create your own fish design.
