Processing kids’ crafts. There are so many different types of materials that kids use in crafts and projects. Let’s work on a few. Also, it’s okay to process you kids’ art. You can’t keep all of it.

Please do not buy confetti balloons. If you must, please do not pop them outside. If you pop them outside, do not do it on a windy day and pickup/vacuum all the confetti. I did a campus cleanup at my son’s school last month and I was still finding confetti in the grass four months…
Sharing my book haul from Birdhouse Books and Gifts. My son had two on his list that he wanted from his book field trip last week and then of course I always grab more for him and for me. Abby has a lot of puzzles for kids and adults in her store so make sure…
