"I will definitely make this spooky fun craft for my preschool group at my library. I love to look for sensory items. They love the rice and beans sensory boxes, so I change those out every other week. Boy, won't they be surprised when they see glowing noodles! t"

"I think that this is a lovely idea - I might need to plan ahead to have some of the lollysticks already bent! Kids don't have much patience!"

"This article should be required reading for every teacher, family member, or caregiver of a child on the Autism spectrum! My brother is on the Autism spectrum, and while he is very high-functioning and lives a pretty normal life as an adult, parts of his childhood were definitely made difficult by his condition. Art, drawing, games, and being creative were definitely a big help for him! I really appreciate the myths and facts infographic. There are so many misconceptions about Autism, and if the general population takes the time to learn a little bit about it, it could go a really long way in making things easier for people on the spectrum and their loved ones."

"I dabble in rock painting when I was a kid, but my rocks definitely didn't look this good! I love the combination of white paint and pastel crayons."

With the amount of garbage we go through each week it's no wonder our landfills are filled to the brim. Did you know that every American generates 4.4 pounds of garbage on a daily basis? We go through over 250 million tons of garbage a year, which is kind of depressing if you really think about it. Why not try to reduce those numbers by recycling? Recycling is great for our environment and our health and it can also teach a great deal about our Earth to the children of the world. With that said, instead of throwing garbage out, reuse it by crafting with it! In 51 things to make with Egg Cartons you'll find amazing projects you never knew could be made out of such household items.

With 80 pages of pure fun, you and the kids are sure to find a project that will bring hours and hours of happiness.
