Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Probably you all have thought of this...I didn't until this week. Get big blocks of green floral foam (kind that will absorb water). Give it to kids with butter knife, toothpicks, whatever.

Vacuum mess afterward.

Our boys (8 and 4) are having a grand time right now with this!

One warning: this does vacuum out of carpets well but I had to use a bit of foamy hand soap with a wet paper towel to adequately clean the table (where the little pieces went as my sons blew bits and pieces around).

Kelly,

You can do block printing also. Carve into the flat surface on one side and roll acrylic paints on, then print. I like to turn the paper over while the block is still on it and carefully rub the paper side. It transfers the paint more evenly.
