Marilyn's Imagination Factory - A fun, educational site for kids, parents and teachers. Learn recycling concepts through art activities using solid waste as a source of materials. Let it cool. Let the kids roll it out, take Christmas cookie cutters like stars and trees and let them cut out. Then let the shapes dry overnight.
Chopsticks are wonderful tools to use for bead making as well.
Let the kids take a lump about the size of a quarter. Roll into a ball. Flatten in the palms. Should look like a disk. Gently fold over a chopstick.
