Party Popcorn - easy treats for kids to make. Just need to mix munchies, melt white chocolate, and stir.

Sharpie Tie-dye program in a box.

This is HYSTERICAL - One Pinner says, "I took their photos, cut them out and glue onto white paper. Then photo copy onto transparency paper (Kinkos for less than a $1), then cut out image and roll it up so that it can fit into the top of a soap bottle. Make sure you have clear soap or sanitizer." Soo funny!

Kathy Barco Note to Librarians: This would be a great craft for the 2012 CSLP Summer Reading Program, Adult division. The theme is "Between the Covers". Especially if the ties used were in varying shades of grey . . .
