BUSY CHILDREN ARE HAPPY CHILDREN

Ive been meaning to share this with those with little kids that can do simple crafts. My sister and I recently just made a shared order with Oriental Trading Co. Most of their cute little crafts come in packs of 6 or 8 or 12. They are so darn cheap and cute, but who needs 12. BUT she has 3 kids and I have 2, so we split things and shared the cost. We are making foam teepee's and log cabins, along with pilgrim and Indian friends. We are making Thanksgiving trees. We are playing with glitter glue, making Christmas ornaments, necklaces and bracelets, etc. I can't tell you how much fun the girls are having will all of this stuff. We do an activity just about everyday and it is keeping them busy and happy. Also, if you have one that needs to work on fine motor skills, its a great way to do it.

So next time you see an oriental trading magazine, take a look and see if a friend wants in on it!
