Week of the Young Child (Day 1): Simple and crafty
By Charlene Prince Birkeland, Shine staff, on Mon Apr 14, 2008 12:10pm PDTI've talked to many moms who aren't keen to get all craftalicious with their children because one, the kids get their art fix at school and two, they don't dig the clean up effort.
