From the designer,
"If you are looking for a fast, cute craft for the kids, look no further. This darling little frame is made from simple craft materials. The foam sticks used make this craft suitable for even younger hands, and the bright colors are perfect to celebrate the last few days of summer. The end result is pleasing, and the kids will love their little artwork. Stick it on the fridge, so that it can remind the kids of the fun they had once the colder months arrive. The kids can also add a special photo to the frame before sending it off to their grandparents as a thoughtful gift, or add a photo of their favorite pet and use it to decorate their room."
