DIY Leis and a Sandpaper Starfish CraftWe're soaking up the last bit of summer here before school starts, so last week some friends came over for a craft play date to make sandpaper starfish and Hawaiian leis.

I like to start every workshop with a simple and fun warm-up drawing exercise. For this workshop, I asked the kids to draw someone that they would like to make the flower lei for.
