CarolynW :
I've been thinking about Back-to-School crafts and activities to help children and teachers get excited about the new school year. I've created a comforting poem and stone craft for children who are reluctant to go back to school. It will help them remember that they are not alone when they have to leave the comfort of their home. I am also working on patterns for creative tabletop garbage bags that teachers will appreciate. They are simple to make and will encourage children to throw their scraps away instead of letting them fall on the floor to be picked up later. I have already designed some monster garbage bags that say "Feed me!" Children place their scraps in the monster's open, tooth-filled mouth. These should be published today. I am also working on other animals designs that will have printable patterns.
