Popcorn, its really neat. Fun to make and fun to eat. Its also fun to make handy dandy kids popcorn crafts out of. First step, pop some corn. Second step eat a little bit of popcorn. Third step refrain from buttering and salting your popcorn. This third step is really important. Of course for the obvious reason of not getting your craft covered in greasy buttery goodness but also because it will definitely make it easier to resist constantly popping the kernels into your mouth. If you do salt and butter it, before you know it there won't be any more popcorn to make your kid's popcorn craft out of. That, my friend would be a might big shame
