Very cute idea and it doesn't take a lot of time, materials or even extreme creative talent. Just the thing for me! I'm going to pass this along to the teachers I work with. I'm sure some of them will want to use it in some form.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see this as a classroom project, Jane. What a great idea!
