Read about concrete ways to encourage creativity with your family at home. The accessibility tip is definitely the one that works best around my family! If I leave craft supplies out, or even on an eye-level shelf with Wood Sprite, you can bet they will be used.

Teachers are doing their jobs and should not have to fork over money for supplies—let alone go into debt for them.
