I also want it to contain materials that I have on-hand, because let's face it... I'm not packing two kids in the car to run to the craft store for a toddler craft that will last only a few minutes. With Halloween just a couple of days away, a Halloween craft was a MUST! So the brainstorming began, (and the...
