This Week's Spotlight Crafts (November 15 - 21)

It is hard to believe that it is almost time for Thanksgiving. Where did the Autumn go? I ask this not only because time has flown by so fast but also because it is so cold here in Minnesota!

• Make a Pine Cone Pony - Look at this picture of a fun pony made using pine cones, twigs, and pine needles. What kind of critter can you make using pines cones and other supplies from nature?

• Hugs Box Gift Craft - Find out how to make this simple gift. You need very few supplies and everyone on your gift list will love it!

• Fleece Pom-Pom Ball - This fleece pom-pom is easy to make, makes a perfect toy for younger kids, and is also a great toy for your dog or cat.
