Crayons - they've seen it all; battered, broken, chewed up, spit out. Bring new life to those little fallen wax soldiers with this crayon melting tutorial by Paper & Stitch.

When a child tends to a houseplant, not only are they getting a firsthand experience with maintaining their own mini-ecosytem, but they're building a better understanding of what life can look like and the basic things we all need in order to thrive. Shift their perspective with these plants personified from Project Kid.
