The blue shape is the outside of a spirograph piece. We cut the grass shapes out of black paper. The tree shapes came with a paper shadow theater set we purchased. And the red middle piece came from the transparent geometric connector set we own. We believe in putting lots of different options out. Even we are learning new things from this!
