KIDS' ACTIVITY
Bag Totes
The rain got the better of us last time, but this week — totes are on!
Where are those plastic bags you saved to re-use? Are they never with you when you actually enter a store? Kennett has a solution: handy bag totes made from re-used household materials. Your kid will make one, you'll love it and keep it with you — voilà!
