The Knack from Michaels'

If your kids love quick, fun and FREE crafts then the Knack is for you.  The Knack is Michaels' classes for kids.  Once you sign-up they send you a calendar of events, coupons, and printable ideas to do at home.  My kids have loved these classes and we've been introduced to new craft projects and ideas we didn't know were out there.
