Choosing the Right Can Liner


It can be difficult to find the right trash bag. Start by finding the gallon size of the container. Most tall kitchen trashcans range from 10 to 15 gallons and require a 24X32 to 24X33 size bag. Next, choose the appropriate thickness. Instead of wasting money on the thickest bag possible, estimate the amount of weight that the trash bag will need to hold. Super heavy bags can hold up to 65 pounds of garbage and are about 1.0 mil.

Easter Game for Kids




Hula Hop Race

Divide the classroom into two equal teams. Have each team stand in a straight line (so that, other than the first child in the line, each child faces the back of the child in front of them). Arrange five hula hoops in a single-file row extending away from the first child in each line. The first child from each team will hop like a bunny in the hula hoop nearest the team, and continue to hop from one hula hoop to the next in order until the child reaches the end of the hula hoops. Once the child reaches the last hula hoop, he or she will turn around and hop all the way back to the starting point. Once the child has returned, he or she will tag the next player in line to begin hopping. A team is finished when each child in the line has hopped to the end of the hula hoops and back. The first team to finish wins!
