Birch trees in winter

There are a few websites that have this idea- (http://weefolkart.com/content/winter-birch-trees) of birch trees in the snow and I thought I'd give it a go with a Wolves of Willoughby Chase twist to it.The kids did a great job. It is tricky tearing off the masking tape and painting the shadows on the trees.We finished The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and The Dolls House this week and I hope we can start on our doll's house room diorama once Zart Art send out the wooden dolls house furniture I ordered. I have started reading Mrs Pepperpot ( I forgot what a funny collection of tales they are) and will probably read either Railway Children or Professor Branestawm.
