My favorite kid craft (today) is making those crazy crayons by melting leftover crayon bitties into mini-muffin tins.

Something like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/avlxyz/348228360/ only the one I first saw (and didn't save - doh!) was a lot simpler and very pretty. I'm looking forward to digging out all those bottle caps and making a colourful curtain when my daughter is a little bigger. I was thrilled to see the lid-man project on Whip Up this month, we'll be giving that a try too!

Besides just using a brush, we get out cookie cutters to stamp with, toy cars and marbles to roll in it and grab other things (toilet paper tubes or apples) to make fun shapes. We love paint.

I love, love, love wall pockets, and love organizing. Or at least trying to organize as many of the toys as I can. my favorite everyday items (I have two) are ribbon and paper - I keep scraps of cute tags, bags, wrapping paper, etc.

Thanks for a wonderful month of postings--my favorite is the toilet paper roll bracelets--I have modified this project for my preschool storytime (glueing on bunny faces and cotton balls for a bunny bracelet).
