I thought this idea was so adorable. I can’t take any credit, as my son brought it home from school. It’s a great, innexpensive craft idea that uses things you probably already have. For this craft, my son’s teachers drew the lines where the “bones” were to go with chalk on black construction paper. My […]
Today we had a huge wind storm which left our backyard completely yellow and brown with leaves. Since I’m going to make my husband be the one to rake them up, I decided to give him a hand and pick up a five or six for a craft. You’re welcome, husband. Supplies Needed: Leaves Computer […]
