One cool thing the kids learned in their Chinese school was how to make stuff with their hands. Their craft teacher from school resigned this past year though, and the kids all really missed her. She was super great and willing to come to our house and keep teaching the kids though. This was something we looked forward to each week. And who knew you could make such cool stuff with wool? You would start with the loose wool and use a needle to shape it – making shallow pricks and stabs in the wool causing it to stick together and take shape. Really neat!
