Shell critters bring out the creative spirit

What happens when you give kids a tray of shells and a few googly eyes? They make absolutely adorable critters and tell you all kinds of stories about what the critters are. We use hot glue to assemble the critters but tacky glue might work well at home. I have several resource books for people to look at but mostly the moms and dads look and the kids seem to be able to pull ideas out of their heads and create. Really great projects this week.
