Pom Pom Inchworm

This was the craft of the day over at MarthaStewart.com a few weeks back, and it brought back a flood of memories of school craft sessions where we'd make inchworm barrettes and fuzzy monster pencil tops complete with antennae and felt feet. According to these instructions, Martha uses a styrene rod to bring her inchworms to life, but i bet you could get by with items already on hand in your craft bin!

Another fun idea from her site: the Dog Cleanup Bag, created by fusing parchment paper to plastic shopping bags. My dog Cassius is pretty good about using his own backyard, but I might have to try this...
