Before the first use we did have to punch out all the inside pieces. That part was easy and I decided to keep the insides. The little shapes, and pictures are fun for my kids to play with or use to practice counting. My kids have created numerous pictures using these stencils. Another activity we did was use a paint brush with just water. We placed ...

I have 2 kids ages 7 and 4. They are always looking for something to do. One thing that can keep them both busy is crafts. I was pleased to get a chance to review the All in one Craft tub from lakeshore. The kit comes with an idea booklet that includes ideas of crafts that you can make using the kit. Some ideas include a butterfly mobile, friendship bracelets, puppets, and picture frame.
