Hand the camera over to them periodically to see what they can come up with! If you don't want to give up YOUR camera, the disposable cameras are great!! Remember to teach your children that what they see through the viewfinder is what will show up in the photo (if they can't see mom's head in the window, it won't be in the picture either!).

Crafting With Aleene Jackson, Tiffany Windsor & Heidi Borchers Photo corners can be used for more than photos. They come in a variety of colors, from classic black, to gold to baby blue. Use self-adhesive photo corners instead of glue to attach a layer of vellum or other paper onto a greeting card. Place photo corners onto corners of paper. Remove protective covering from the adhesive back. Press into place. For large sewing projects, wind several bobbins with thread. Adhere a magnetic strip to your sewing machine to hold the filled bobbins. The magnet keeps your bobbins within easy reach. * * * * * * * * * * EDITOR'S CHOICE * * * * * * * * * * Do you prefer shopping at Wal-Mart or Target?

Crafting Tips/Questions - Great Ideas From Our Readers. Tip 1 - Hot Pack For Peggy who is looking for the microwaveable items for sore muscles. Take any cotton or flannel fabric and cut 2 pieces the same size and stitch together to form a square (ed note - we've also heard to use a tube sock). Leave one corner open to fill the bag with white uncooked rice (not minute rice). Stitch up hole. I put these in microwave for 2 min. on high and you have a heat pad. I also keep a few in the freezer for cold packs. After you have used as hot packs a few dozen times, put bag with a cup of water (DO NOT put the bag in the water) turn on microwave for 2 min. and just leave inside microwave for about 5 minutes. The steam from the water puts moisture back into the rice. These last forever!!! Just do not wash bag. I make a slip on cover for mine to keep them clean and throw the cover in to wash. Hope this helps. Mary Lawson, West Palm Beach, FL Tip 2 - Recycled Baby Toys This is an easy way to make sensory toys for your 8-month-old daughter. Take the label off the small size water bottles and fill it with various liquids (corn syrup, watered down hair gel, water). You can color them with food coloring and then add small items such as beads, toys, etc. You can also fill them with rice, macaroni and add glitter or anything else that will add color. Be sure to secure the lids with a nontoxic glue. I usually use a hot glue gun. I am a pre-kindergarten teacher and I am making a set using the alphabet.
