ave you been Pinteresting like crazy in hopes of finding fun ways to help your kids and/or students polish those language art skills? Well, I have ... I kid you not, I have like 8K pins or more.

So I looked for months for decent Spanish curricula for the kiddos and couldn't really find what I was looking for (translation: something that didn't bore me to death and that was easy for the kids to grasp).

Citrusy Fabric at Spoonflower This design is so much fun! I made this for Spoonflower's Citrus Fruit contest (up for vote this week) and regardless of the outcome I'll put it up for sale.
