I remember many summers creating scratch-off crafts with my sisters. We would color for hours together, making so many fun designs, and sometimes turning them into greeting cards. By the time we were done, the crayons were almost gone, and our hands would look like rainbows from all the crayon shavings! I love sharing that same great memory with my own children now.
