    This is a darling and inexpensive craft that kids can make while you are busy preparing dinner or entertaining family.

    You will need:

    one Styrofoam plate
    one Styrofoam bowl
    glue
    hole punch
    ribbon
    various supplies: paint, glitter, streamers, pompom, silk flowers etc.

    Staple the bowl to the center of the plate and carefully cut out the middle underneath the bowl-where top of head will fit. Paint the entire "hat" one color or sponge paint many pastel colors.

    Be creative! Glue little pom-poms (you can buy a bag of premade colors) all along the rim. Use streamers to hang from the back for girls, or glue artificial daisies around the hat. The sillier you want it to be, the more you should decorate!

    To tie on the hats, punch one hole on each side of the hat and tie a piece of ribbon to each (8-10 inches or so) and tie under their chin in a bow. (do not knot, so it unties easily).

    Harvesting and Using Summer Squash

    Summer squash is one of my favorite vegetables. I love the yellow summer squash in particular. They should be harvested while still tender, when they have a "glossy" appearance and are still small. You will most likely need to harvest daily once they start to appear.
