\"Necktie<\/a><\/p>\n

by contributing writer\u00a0Jasmine<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, my sister visited our family during the biggest blizzard I have ever seen. Although the kids enjoyed the snow, they did get restless being cooped up in the house all day. Thankfully my sister brought a surprisingly fun project for them.<\/p>\n

Before leaving sunny Florida, she stopped by the thrift store and found a bag of old neckties for just a few dollars. Everyone got to pick out their favorite necktie and make a necktie rattlesnake. It reminded me of Christmas time when the kids drop the toys and play with the boxes and wrapping paper.<\/p>\n

My kids have an entire tub of stuffed animals that they never play with. But for some reason they loved playing with their handmade, disjointed, crudely sewn snakes. Just a guess, but I think they loved them because they had a hand in making them!
