Lesson Plans and Ideas

I have loved crafting since I was a child so I take great pleasure in finding crafts that parents, teachers, and caregivers can do with their children! While there are many ways crafts can be used to teach, I believe some of the most important things they will learn are not necessarily part of any lesson plan. These things include taking pride in their work, stretching their imagination, and feeling the success that comes from completing a project. I hope you are able to use the resources I share to not only teach but also to create wonderful memories that will last longer than anything they make.
