I used to do this all the time when I was a kid! This is a really fun and inexpensive activity to keep kids busy.

Really! I have never seen this done before but what a real cool craft and you are right it is so very cheap project to do with the grandkids or kids or even pre-k. It would be great to see what they come up with. This would also be relaxing for an adult to do too. Thanks.

Wow! I haven't seen this in years. We did it in school over 50 years ago. It's an easy art to do. I am going to do it with the grand kids the next time they are at my house. It's cheap, easy and they can be as creative as they want .
