A day home from school + a box of cork

School will be out for the holidays soon and kids will be home looking for things to do. Why not let them use their imagination by getting into your wine cork collection. I gave my kids a box full of random corks - from used wine corks and champagne corks to cork balls and tapered corks. They spent a bit of time "brainstorming" what they wanted to create - they decided on trivets as it was both decorative and useful. They then spent the next couple hours "creating". All this involved were the corks and a bottle of white glue.
