I still get to be nostalgic over his toys and craft supplies every day at work. <br /><br />Also, not crafty at all here, but I do have a coloring book that I sometimes use when super super stressed. <br /><br />Hope all is well out your way. xocheatymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328903955238115971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-51027425309000939322011-02-05T10:28:07.068-08:002011-02-05T10:28:07.068-08:00Keep 'em.

And then they want to melt them into new shapes and make art in other ways with them.

Shave some in different colors - their favorites - overlapping them. Put a piece of waxed paper and melt that with the hair dryer until they are melted into the card paper. Fold and they can become their own personal thank you cards - I know, I know but who knows? maybe they get to write thank you notes some day.<br /><br />Or they can make enough and send them out in little bundles of six to your parents or whomever. Art Upcycle.
