with the shenanigans in the

Make A Miniature Garden
In the winter people often miss flowers in -gardens and
leaves on trees. Why not perk .up your bedroom with a
• miniature•garden' Most of the things you need to make a
small indoor garden can be found inside the house. Dig
through snow to find twigs. pebbles. and soil. It won't
take you long to create a reminder of the summer.
To make a miniature garden you need:
a small box with a lid '
soil
pebbles
tin foil
sponge
twigs
colored paper
toothpicks
straws
glue
scissors ' .
crayons
Hopi to make a miniature -garden:
1. cut the box so it's only about an inch high
2. fill the box with soil
3. make paths with small stones
a. make a river with tin foil •
5. glue sponge onto twigs to make trees
6. glue colored paper onto toothpicks to make floc ers
7. cut and glue. straws to slake a fence
8. color the inside of the lid with crapins and make a
summer scene
9. attach the lid to the box
