Oh how cute!! I didn't realize school glue would get stiff enough to pull up. How long does it take to dry? What fun for young kids. I have another easy 1. Tiny spider. 1 black chenille piece (12 in. long)1 -1/2in. bk. pompom 2 -6mm wiggle eyes. Cut the chenille in 4 even pieces.(3 in. each) Twist 1 leg around the other 3 tightly . Have kids spread out "legs" & glue on pompom ,glue on eyes. All done!! You can have little spiders all over the place!! Just right size to park himself on top of pumpkin leaf!! So for $3 or so cheap craft Jan

Another great idea for kids!! Thanks! My grandkids are too old. Oh well!GF has 2 young ones so will love it!! Jan

Check out The Crafty Crow. Just google that name and it should be the first site to pull up. TONS of wonderful, easy kids crafts.

Too Many Hallways! Do you plan to use the secondary BR on the first floor as a study/office? Is that why you have a tub in the bathroom on this floor? (Quite a hike.) If this is the family powder room, sink and toilet will do. Where will your children play or have friends visit? I'd skip the formal DR and enlarge the "Breakfast Room" -- which is the "All Meals Room" in my house. You are right that this open plan does not need *both*, but I'd prefer an enlarged family eating space. One you subtract the 'walk through' space from it, the LR is very small. Back Hall is too much 'hall' and too little "Family Entrance" and "Laundry". Where's the laundry/slop tub? (My house rules permit no dog that will not fit into this tub.) Where's the laundry chute? No door to the back/side yard here? Don't waste outside walls on closets. Do put windows in at least two walls of every room that can have them. Yes to larger bathroom on second floor. Does one house need three tubs? SMALL, strung-out Kitchen; might be enough upper cabinets IF there were a pantry. (I'd rather have the cabinets.) Wasted space between end of kitchen and front BR. Rotate the MBR 90 degrees. Put closet(s) between it and bathroom. MBR to Closet to Bathroom in one rectangle.
