My first year as a first grade teacher's assistant (my first full time education job), I made chocolates for every single student in my class. I didn't have an oven or a microwave at home so I did it all in the staff room after work. They came out so ugly but the kids loved them. (Those same kids graduated from high school last year! I am a decrepit mummy.)

I've been working on a very simple/boring continuous granny square cushion cover during work meetings. I'm going to start my next project - joined hexagons - over the weekend so I can work on the motifs during our in-service day (all meetings, all day) next week.

The first graders are doing a unit on "materials" so I'm going to go through my stash for stuff I'm never going to use and give it to them for their exploration/makerspace.
