Turn  some of those corks that you saved into this Cute Cork Kitten with help from the kids. Corks make a great craft material so don’t throw them out.

Trivia:

Cork oak is the primary source of most cork products in the world, including wine bottle stoppers. These trees primarily grow in countries that run along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, where there’s plenty of sunshine, low rainfall and high humidity.
