Back to School Crafts!

With Back to School quickly approaching, and for some that already started, here are some awesome crafts for the new school season! 

Kwik Stix Tempera Paint Sticks alleviate any mess created by painting while keeping all the fun. They are great for the classroom. No cups, smocks, brushes, water or drying rack needed. Spend more time on creating instead of cleaning up. You simply uncap, twist and paint. Kwik Stix have a fast-drying formula that allow them to dry in 90 seconds. Students can take their artwork home the same day! 

 

Popsicle Stick Puzzles

Tape a series of lined-up popsicle sticks together to make a rectangle. Draw a picture on the popsicle sticks. Now you have a cute little back to school puzzle!
