These are fantastic ideas! My 5yo son has “fallen in love” with one of his aunts high school friends and is asking to buy her flowers (LOL) every time we’re in the store – these flowers would be perfect for him to make and give to her!

Dear Valerie,
Are you asking me to bake more? Because I don’t think that we have nearly that many empty egg cartons.
Love,
Mark

What wonderful ideas! I have oodles of empty egg cartons in the cupboard, just waiting for the “right” craft activity to come along! I especially love the wreath and the flowers…
