Reasons to use coupons

Great article if you've wondered about starting to use coupons but aren't sure if it would be worth it or a common reason people give for not using them, "they are never for things I use or it's only processed, unhealthy stuff." (not true!)

Ocean/Sea Animals Lesson

Homemade fishing poles: fish cutouts, floss, cut up squares of magnets (saved from random places/front of phone books, etc.), sticks from outside!

Craft: Painted sea creatures printout with water colors. The kids had a great time painting and were occupied much longer than I expected! This is always a favorite activity.

Snack: apple slices and sea creatures cheese crackers (I thought they tasted good but most of the kids didn't like them; they were only $1 at Buy Low and a no-name brand. But they were cute and theme-related!)
