The Hazel Village animals love to make crafty costumes for their special holidays. If the costume is an easy paper craft that recycles materials they had around their houses, so much the better. So these masks are the perfect project! In the human world, this would be a great DIY Halloween craft for kids, or for anyone who loves to make costumes.

In the fall when the leaves change color in Hazel Village, the animals become interested in identifying different types of trees by their types of leaves. Fortunately, Lucy Owl is here to help. Peek inside for Lucy’s Leaf Reference Manual and to get a leaf guide printable so you can color your own and then refer back to it when you’re looking at leaves.

Megan Melman works for Hazel Village. By day, she does monograms, packs web orders, and keeps our inventory system under control which is a daunting task. But when she's not working, she has been taking weaving lessons. She generously made a woven ribbon to decorate some extra-special doll dresses. Read on to learn how she did it.
