Very Cool Bottlecaps

I don't know about other kids, but mine have an obsession with bottle caps. The ones they usually find are caked with dirt and bent in half, but still they want to keep them. So, to kick off one of my New Year's resolutions--which is to do at least four planned-for-in-advance-not-spur-of-the-moment-stop-watching-T.V. craft activities with the kids each month. (Did that make sense?) Maddie and Nicholas, and even Emily later that evening, after her nap, with Darren's help, made designer bottle caps. It was a lot of fun, even I have to admit now that there is some sort of something that makes you want to pick them up off the counter several times and examine them. And they want to do more. And make some into magnets for the fridge. And put little photos on some. And...
HERE is what we used. (If you haven't tried Klutz books before, they're so great!)
