Before the young explorers arrive, transform your home into a lush wilderness. First, make paper-bag vines by removing the bottom of a brown paper grocery bag (see below), then cutting down one side to open it up (1). Cut the bag lengthwise into three strips, then twist the strips to look like a vine (2). Finally, use masking tape to connect the strips (3) and to hang them throughout your house.
Cut giant leaves from green poster board and tape them all around (note: you'll also need some for the Tree Frog Throw game). Drape a green plastic tablecloth over your snack table and cut the edges for a leafy look. For a finishing touch, fill the room with jungle sounds by playing a sounds of nature CD, sold at department stores or online at www.amazon.com.
