Mia's Greek/Roman God Family Tree

Mia's craft project for history this week was to make a family tree for the Greek/Roman Gods and Goddesses. She chose a branch from the backyard. Luckily for her, the recent snow storm left quite a few big fallen branches in it's path. She then had the idea to spray paint it gold before collecting dirt to fill this pitcher we found at a thrift shop for her birthday party. Next, she chose a leaf to trace and cut out 23 times for the tree. She wrote the name of each God on each leaf and then we hot glued them onto the tree descending from most important to least important. She loved working on it and in the end Lennon helped with the glueing. It's so festive and fall looking too, so we're going to keep it up for a while!
