Question
My son has to do a project on the planet Saturn.  My artistic ability is very limited and this project is very important to my son.  I would like to do something different and original.  Do you have any ideas on how we could display the planet Saturn in a creative way?  Thank you!

Answer
Hi Tiffany,

Thanks for writing.  One of my favorite crafts is paper mache, perhaps you can make a planet using those techniques.  There are some directions here:

Expertise

I have extensive experience working with children, and enjoy creating craft projects families can do together. Through the years, I have experimented with many different craft techniques using a variety of supplies. My personal favorite is creating treasures from trash! Why throw away toilet paper rolls or empty coffee cans? I also love all holiday crafts.

Experience

I have been a crafter in one form or another all my life. I have also been a day care provider and an elementary school employee. I am the mother of three. As a day care provider, I created my own curriculum program and craft projects for the kids.

Organizations
I have volunteered in many youth and community organizations including Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4H, etc.

Publications
My craft articles and projects have been featured and/or reviewed by many publications such as Access Magazine, USA Weekend, and a few "who's-who on the Internet" books.

Education/Credentials
As an ex-day care provider and elementary school employee, I have taken various classes in child development and guidance. I have also attended many community craft classes for adults.
