That is such an amazing gift.\r\n\r\nThe children used some of this paper to make lovely spring art. The sketch paper is used for early finishers, so they can free draw and/or plan upcoming art projects.

So many of the students are interested in learning how to crochet and I am trying to teach them all in small batches. These yarns are so useful in teaching them yarn arts. They learn better when they select the yarn and are determined to complete their art project.\r\nFinally, my students are obsessed with anything jewelry. They love to use yarn to string beads and create friendship bracelets or simple necklaces. This yarn has given them so many beautiful choices!
