This is a fun activity you can do with your children to celebrate Mabon.
What you will need:
1 bag each of semisweet chocolate and white chocolate morsels (chips), broad leafed herbs such as mint, basil, celery, etc.
What to do:
Select your sprigs of leaves in the produce section of your grocery store or from your garden. Wash leaves thoroughly and pat dry. Melt chocolate with 2 tsp. of butter, stirring until smooth. Pour chocolate into small bowls and give each child a clean small paintbrush. Paint the underside of the leaves with the chocolate and place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm. Slowly pull real leaves away from chocolate leaves.
Explain to your child(ren) how art is a reflection of the true beauty of Nature.

aelwyn,
I am hoping to make these this weekend. My son's birthday party is this weekend so it may have to wait a bit.
