This is a freebie favorite … assuming you have muffin tins at your house that is. If not, they are great not only for making muffins but sorting candy and even bead crafts!
Grace wanted a craft at her birthday party so we decided on beaded bracelets and necklaces. I had all of the beads on the kitchen counter all ready to set out on the dining room table for craft time. I looked over and saw the muffin tins drying from the cupcakes I made the night before and knew I was going to thank myself later for not cleaning those pans earlier!
I dumped different beads in the different muffin areas are the girls went to town …
The best part was with the two muffin tins there was plenty of room and no fighting over one bowl. Plus I think I found only 4 beads on the floor after they all left!!
What is Friday Favorites?
Friday Favorites is another almost weekly feature here at Simply Budgeted. The whole point of this feature is to share some of our favorite finds. Anything is game. Food. Cleaning supplies. Kid stuff. Garden favorites. Recipes. Anything that I really like and want to randomly post about.
Reminder/Disclaimer/Whatever: Everything in Friday Favorites is something that we use and bought on our own.
Do you use items around your house during craft time or any other time? Leave me a comment and me know!
