My baby just turned 20, so it has been a bit since I've done crafts with kids.  But now, I'm going to have my preschool granddaughter one day a week, and I'm doing childcare for a MOPS group in our area.  This was such a great, casual, creative reminder to me about how crafting with kids doesn't have to be complicated.  I loved the tone Courtney had, and really appreciated seeing all the variations.
