Decorating Ideas

• Page #1 (Title page): The (Texas) sky's the limit! One strategy is to save this for last and use the leftover supplies. Another option is to wait until it's inside a sheet protector and then any coloring can be done with dry-erase marker (makes it easy to change up).
• Page #3 (Sheep): Star / animal stickers; Cut popsicle sticks in half or use pipe cleaners to add onto / extend the fence
• Page #4 (Window): Star stickers; glitter glue on curtains
• Page #5 (Night sky): Space stickers
• Page #6 (Ocean): Sea animal stickers; glitter glue for ocean waves; googly eye on the fish
• Page #7 (Barn): Space / land animal stickers; cut popsicle sticks in half to create a fence in the field; pipe cleaners to line the barn
• Page #8 (Cattle): Land animal stickers; glitter glue on hills
• Page #9 (Capitol): Land animal stickers; glitter glue on path to Capitol
