Simply gather up the small foam pieces {you can find these at any drugstore in the foot aisle}, some green and red sharpies, scissors and white cardstock paper and you are good to go! Oh and don’t forget to enlist the help of your little ones too! Any age group can help with this simple yet effective holiday project! So what are you waiting for?!
