We cut things like this in the bath. Same when we fill beanbags or use those little white balls for a project. Much much easier to vacuum up from the bath (be sure to put the plug in to catch the small bits but obviously no water).

Thanks so much, Deb! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ll look for your post!

They kind of rule : ) Enjoy!

Those sticks were actually given to me several years ago, by one of my daycare moms, Meri. She was cleaning out her classroom supplies and gave me some things she no longer needed. Unfortunaetly, I have no idea where she got them.

The only time there were little bits to bother with was when I was cutting the blocks, so I just cut the blocks (with a bread knife) outside. If you were cutting them inside, I’d just have the vac. handy for clean up when you finished cutting them.

No, our craft sticks came like this. The skinny dowel-like sticks came with them. It’s some sort of building set. One of my daycare moms was cleaning out her classroom a few years back and didn’t want them, so she donated them to our daycare, so I don’t even know what they’re rightfully called. Sorry I can’t be of more help!.

Thank you! Yes! They had a blast! 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

I shared this on Facebook for other mommas to see!

Yes, when those little tongues start sticking out, you know they’re hard at work, Kierna!

Thank you! Have fun with it, Janire!!
