Family of Trolls
Thomas, I used recycled things to make this troll (the tallest one). I want to make big trolls like you some day. All I need is to get bigger things to use to make them bigger. Thank you for making cool things to look at and giving me ideas to make my own cool things. My mommy and daddy and sister made these other trolls. It's a family of trolls. This family of trolls is going to scare bugs away so they don't eat our food in our garden.

Hi, Thomas. My name is Levi and I love finding things outside. Thank you for making trolls and sharing about them in Highlights! I saw your trolls in Kentucky and I loved running through the woods to see all of them. I thought they were so big and so cool! Looking for stuff to make my troll was my favorite part. I don't know what to call my troll, but I hope you like it.
