What a lovely, lovely comment, thank you so much for letting me know that you are enjoying what you found here. That's the entire reason I share. I hope the crafts you do together with your grandchildren in the future, bring you all great joy and many hours of memory making. Congratulations on that new baby, too!! Wonderful news!!

At 67, well, I'll be 68 when my first grandchild is born, i am already collecting ideas that I can do with my grandchildren! I plan on taking our spare bedroom, putting in a Murphy bed and making it a craft/playroom for my grandchildren. Of course, I am praying they will enjoy crafting, painting, glueing, etc. as much as I did as a child and still do! Now that I am at this stage of my life I have the time to create and make the things I've always wanted! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am going to print everything out and put it in a 3 ring binder that will hopefully be passed down after I am long gone. Bless you for doing this. I love these ideas so much!!

I think it finally started losing pieces last year when it fell off the tree. So I would say they're pretty sturdy! At least that one was!!

I can remember a piece of round colored paper with different colors and shapes of macaroni glued to it that my kids used to bring. I think it might have been one of your angels that got loose in the middle of the freeway. Oh, that is mean, but I couldn't resist! It is too cute your angel. When I helped in classrooms before I retired I was give a little toy soldier made out of an old fashioned clothes pin.
