Experience the Thrill of Well Behaved Kids Overnight with this One-Of-A-Kind, Powerful New
Parenting Tool
Better Behavior gives families discipline creative options without spanking. When your child misbehaves,
spin the wheel and he or she is required to follow whatever consequence the arrow stops on.
Your child participates in choosing the consequences, so he or she will have an investment in the process and be much more willing to give the Wheel a spin when the time comes.
Just having the Wheel in your home can change the atmosphere overnight. It's guaranteed! Conflict resolution becomes much easier to deal with. Families who use the Wheel report dramatic changes in their households. Homework gets done, clothes get picked up, arguing stops...in short, the Wheel produces great kids and a stress free environment! The mere presence of the Wheel will have a marked effect on your kids. Chances are, you'll seldom even have to spin it!

Thank you to one of our visitors for sending in this idea.
Nicole used this project with a large group of kids. Here are her
tips for this craft idea.
Tips for Stain Glass Window craft:
Use an iron that you do not intend to use on fabric again because the crayon can seep through the wax paper and ruin the iron for future use
Use the name brand wax paper its worth the extra money the cheap stuff doesn't have the same look and it rips really easy
An old pencil sharpener works better than a grater its really hard to grate a crayon also if you heat the crayon slightly before grating or sharpening it works much better
Cheap waxier crayons are better the name brand are just too hard the waxier the better because they are softer
This is a super cute craft but is not very good for large groups
If you cut a design out of two pieces of black construction paper and put the melted crayon between them its really cute!
