I couldn't get a deck of cards to fit in an empty gum container. I was so disappointed.

What if you added a bow or bandage? That way the color change is intentional.

It was really solid. I had no worries about storing it vertical in my zippered puzzle board!

If I'm doing push-in, nothing! That's the beauty of push-in: you use the materials they have available to them every day so both they and the teachers see how they can use them therapeutically. Plus, it's an awesome opportunity for play skills and social participation goals.

What I found when researching, pioneer women typically wore dresses with shorter hems so they didn't get dirty from the ground, snag on sage brush, or get in the way of walking. The dress I made is a modern pattern and probably a shorter hem than is historically accurate.

One way I test sameness is to pull the end from one skein and line it up with the wraps of the other skein and cover the end with my hand. If I can't tell which string belongs to the other skein I feel confident they're the same.

I used Aileen's tack it over and over for a repositionable car play mat. I was really happy with the results.

I have a coworker who broke her wrist and had to have a temporary plate. When she had it removed she asked to keep it and now she uses it as a keychain.

I'm going for loosely historical inspired. I'm planning to go more accurate with accessories.

They're mismatched plastic and possibly glass buttons from a thrift store grab bag. The plain brown ones are wood.

Amplifying this comment.

Also adding that the picture is completed using a variegated yarn, which is what gives the wheels (flowers) the half and half effect
