Hi, I'm new to this site. It looks great. I'm going to try to make a felt board story using this recipe, as well as incorporating a leprechaun and some rainbow fantasy. I'd like to share it when I'm finished. Is this the kind of teaching materials and activites that members would like posted? Thanks, mlle Michelle
