Families Who Walk Together
Get Fit and Have Fun! By Donna Smith
When You Get HomeCover a table with a layer of newspaper to catch any dirt or other debris that may be in your bag. Have your child sort the items together on the newspaper. At this point, if you desire, you can place the items on a baking 
sheet and put in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 30 minutes. This will kill any insects or their eggs that might be hiding. Make sure to allow the items to cool a few minutes before starting your project.
Now comes the fun part! Take your hay wreath and let your child tell you where she wants you to hot glue the items on. (Be careful with children around hot glue guns they can get very hot!) Cover as much of the wreath as you can, though some of the wreath showing is fine. Nuts, such as pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts, add a great look to your wreath. The nuts can also be painted in different colors if you would like to add some color maybe to match your dinnerware?
After everything is glued on, allow it to sit a few minutes so the glue will be completely dry, then cut a piece of ribbon and add a bow. To hang, simply use a nail to hold it to the wall or tie a piece of ribbon around the top to make a hanger.
