And now to get creative...

    While new products and deals are great, kids need other creative outlets.
    One of my favorite times during the day is art and center play time.  The kids learn through play and teachers get to run their fingers through green sand and squish some paint onto a paper plate.
    My favorite time of the day can also be the most costly.  The children love to create, but our pockets hate to take the trip to the craft store every week.
    One tip for reusing old markers is to dip those markers into water.  The results are reminiscent of water colors.  The children love that they are allowed to use the water and watch it turn colors!
    To reuse old string try using it as a beading device.  The smaller the beads, the older the kids must be for this activity, but they will love making a necklace or bracelet for mom!
