It is the perfect organizing tool for your kids locker. This is a great project to make in order to not only keep your pens and pencils organized, but it also allows for easy access. This is also a project that can be reused over again for the following school year, or even around the house.

Here is a suggestion if you are having a hard time getting your kids to participate in arts and crafts, let them make a craft they can eat! Kids love anything sweet, and the crafts in this post are all yummy treats for them to enjoy. These edible crafts are very simple to make, and taste delicious.
