	HOPE TREE PLANTING KIT Each Earth Friend doll comes packaged with a Hope Tree Planting Kit in their backpack. This plant and grow kit contains an instruction booklet, Douglas fir seeds and a magic grow pellet for sprouting your seedling. Earth Friends can help Mother Nature keep our planet healthy and strong by planting trees! Did you know that plants and trees clean the air by turning carbon dioxide into oxygen? A fully grown tree can provide enough oxygen for four people each day. Follow the instructions provided and have fun!

	INSPIRATION CARDS Earth friends love to use their imagination to create fun gifts. Making "Inspiration Cards" is one of our favorite projects because it combines creativity and recycling. These are cards with beautiful images on one side and inspirational messages on the other. Your friends can pick a card to enjoy at quiet moments throughout their day. We like to keep a basket on a special shelf. For this project you will need: -old magazines -cereal and/or cracker boxes -glue (liquid or glue stick) Instructions: 1. find images that appeal to you 2. glue them to the printed side of the boxes 3. let the glue dry 4. cut out the images 5. write inspirational messages on the back side 6. gather them into a box or basket 7. give them to a friend for a birthday, holiday or just for fun!
