Live Art
What a great year it's been here at the Brainy Beginnings HQ! We've been learning and growing so much! And we've been eating! Lots of festive eats has been going down over here! We thought we'd have some fun with making food pictures from cardboard AND making them come to life with plants! All the fun, none of the calories! WOOT.
