We also sprinkled more apples, leaves, and acorns around the base of each centerpiece. Photo 1: For table centerpieces, we filled assorted glass jars and vases with apples, battery operated lighted sticks (purchased at Christmas Tree Shoppe) and Fall branches I picked up from the local garden recycle center! It made the perfect backdrop behind the Mom-to-be’s chair. When the concrete was set, I covered the buckets with burlap. To hang these, hubs mixed concrete in two buckets from Lowe’s and set the two tall branches in the center to set. This wasn’t hard to do, but was a bit messy – and totally worth it!

With fairy lights, pine cones and plenty of greenery, you’ll be able to create a magical atmosphere that is sure to make memories for years to come. As children's memory and matching skills improve, add more cards back in to keep the game stimulating for even more playtime. **Hint: to begin with an easier level of play, you can remove some pairs from the set to have a reduced number of cards. Once all of the cards are matched, the player who has the most pairs wins. It is the next player's turn when no match is made. If you get a pair, place those cards in front of you and take another turn. Each turn, a player turns over two cards to see if they have found a matching pair. Placing the cards in neat rows will assist with keeping track of their locations. How to Play: Lay each card face down on a flat surface. You will find owl, squirrel, hedgehog, fox, and more in this illustrated Woodland themed set. Kids will be entertained by the animal and plant illustrations, designed to encourage conversation and imagination.
