Sparkle Crafts Sparkle Craft: Pocket Hand Warmers

We've created a fun tutorial for these very easy-to-make pocket hand warmers. Just pop them in the microwave or in a low oven for a few moments to warm up the rice or beans inside. They will stay warm for quite awhile and that will help keep little fingers nice and toasty — and hopefully help your family enjoy the outside longer.
