Kitchen Moon and Stars

Sponge Holder Project

Updated 7/4/19

A unique accessory for the astronomers kitchen - a moon and stars themed sponge holder. Constructed of three different components - the base, and front and back side sections. Besides holding the wet sponge upright to dry, the base is pan shaped with six sided ribbing on the bottom to help air circulate under for quick drying. We made two of these, one red for the house and one blue for the Cabin.
