Does any one know Art projects that have to do with Maple Syrup?
I'm leading a 30 minute booth on Maple Syrup. The age group spreads from 5 to 10 year olds. I cannot think of any craft to do.
The craft must center around Maple Syrup, Maple trees, and/or Maple leaves. Reply soon, I need good Ideas.
If you can bring utensils, you could make no-cook maple candy and let them press it into molds or make it into shapes. http://www.fs.fed.us/npnht/education/candy.shtml
You can find the molds in craft stores. I have maple leaves, but I also have fairies, lighthouses, and seashells.

Landscape Ideas For Your Maple Grove Landscape Project
If you are planning on creating a truly unique Landscape in your backyard, there are virtually unlimited options and ideas that you can use to plan your project.
I was once in a customer's yard in Maple grove that was almost 100% landscaped with almost no lawn. He had a huge waterfall that flowed into a lagoon which was surrounded by a maintenance free golf green. He had an outdoor fireplace which was close to an in ground spa. This was a project that required the expertise of many different artisans. I used the word "artisan" as it truly was a work of art!
Your project may not be as huge, expensive or time consuming as the "lagoon" yard, but most likely it will be what you have dreamed about and will be perfect for you. The projects that I have seen that impressed me the most were the ones that turned the back yard into an extension of the indoor living space.
People that are avid golfers have created some very beautiful golf greens where they can practice their craft while their kids enjoy the swimming pool or sport court or while guests relax around the outdoor fireplace. The potential is limited only by your imagination and bank account.
If you are thinking about creating something more than a basic landscape project, you will probably want to contract separately with contractors for each feature in your yard. A landscape contractor may say he can create a golf green for you, but the guys that do it every day will build you a much better green that will stand the test of time.
Additionally, almost all landscapers build retaining walls, but some specialize in boulder walls. If you are wanting to install a natural looking boulder wall, you would be wise to contract with a company that specializes in boulder walls. Creating a functional retaining wall with boulders requires special equipment and much more creativity than just stacking up keystone blocks.
I have also seen some wonderful landscape projects that even required the services of a good carpenter. Cabana's, pergola's, gazebos and other features that use wood are best left for people that are used to saws and hammers.
Bottom line, spend some serious time thinking about what features and activities you want in your yard before you begin your landscape project.
