It’s easy to forget some of the classic crafts of yesteryears. Making your own bookmarks from old cards, leaf pictures and sand art are some of my kids favorites. These activities have been done by many parents and teachers for many years. Why? Because kids LOVE them!
Have you brought glue and paper outside to the sandbox yet for some fun sand art? If not, today is the day to have some outdoor fun and learning!
