these are wonderful! I homeschooled my daughter for 9 years and I loved doing these type of things with her..she is all grown now, but I will pass this on to my friend who is a teacher and mom!

Awesome sites. Thanks for posting, I'm always on the look out for sites like these. I have tried a different version of the floating fish (I think I have one posted) It's an awesome preschooler project.

Very frugal ideas! You can make something fun, and keep more stuff from going to the landfill.

These are great! Unfortunately my babies are teenagers now and its all I can do to get them to paing ornaments and resin figurines with me at Christmas time. My daughter is a wonderful artist though, she snitched my last canvas last night, but it was worth it to see her painting.

Thank you for your recent comments on my work. They are greatly appreciated!
