"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."

Plaid Enterprises

Plaid Plaid Enterprises inspires both craft hobbyists and professional artists alike with a wide array of award-winning products for creative living. Plaid's core brand of crafting products such as Bucilla, FolkArt, Apple Barrel, Gallery Glass and Mod Podge are known throughout the creative community for their high-quality and versatility. Plaid continues to inspire consumers within the craft world and beyond with new and inventive product offerings in categories like jewelry, surfaces, fashion crafting and more.

Plaid was founded in 1976, and the first product category was a series of how-to books, instructing crafters on such projects as beading, decoupage, needlecrafts, floral arranging, and macrame. Plaid soon discovered that there was a large demand for unique products that would help crafters create these and other types of projects. The company began to expand its offerings to reach the broad range of crafters.

Today, Plaid is the industry's leading small batch paint manufacturer, producing all USA-made paint in facilities located outside of Atlanta, GA. Some notable brands in Plaid's portfolio include FolkArt®, Gallery Glass®, One Stroke™, and one of the industry's best known, Mod Podge®, a favorite since 1967. In 2011, Martha Stewart and Plaid united, to create a new multi-surface line of craft paint. This newest line has quickly become a favorite among consumers.

Plaid offers more than 4,000 products including craft paint, adhesives and mediums, jewelry, stamping, surfaces, stitchery and more. Our high quality products are known for their ease of use and durability over time.
