SET-THE-TABLE PLACE MATS: Offer crayons, markers and place-mat-size paper. Let the kids draw where the plate, cup, glass, fork, knife and spoon go, while they learn how to set the table.
CREATE A BOOKMARK: Cut pictures from used greeting cards and magazines, glue them onto the front and back of a strip of construction paper.
COLOR A LUNCH BAG: Decorate a week or two's supply of white or brown paper lunch bags with markers, crayons, glue sticks, stickers and glitter.
STRING COLORFUL PASTA: Make a bracelet or necklace by stringing colorful hollow pasta onto yarn. Remember to be on hand to tie it when it's ready.
CREATE A COLLAGE: Use cut-out or torn-out pictures from magazines and used greeting cards to create pictures of a favorite place, a dream room or a family vacation everyone would like to take.
WRITE A STORY: Staple together several sheets of blank paper. Let the kids write and illustrate, then read their stories after dinner.
MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC: Place a square piece of waxed paper over the end of an empty paper-towel tube, and secure it in place with tape or a rubber band. Let the kids hum their favorite tunes into the tube.

I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Organizer and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.
My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.
I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!
Thank you!!
