Autumn Activities on a Budget

shutterstock_9915772 Planning on picking apples this season?  When you get home have some fun with them and create Shrunken Apple Faces.  Peel your apples an use a small knife to carve faces on them. Make big noses and sunken eyes.  Place your apple faces on to a baking pan and bake on low for three hours, allowing them to shrivel up!  After you take them out, leave them to sit in a warm, dry place for a few days.  You can use rice and beans to decorate the faces, e.g. for eyes and teeth.

Spooky and cool and a great after the apple picking activity!

Sticker Party

stickers1Do your children love stickers?  I remember when I was a kid, a favorite activity was collecting, organizing, and trading stickers with my friends.  There were googly eyed ones, scratch-n-sniff, puffy, and regular ones too.  It was such a fun hobby.  Stickers are always fun and during the summer when school is out and you are looking for ways to keep the kids busy a great idea is to invite over your kid’s friends who also love stickers for an afternoon of fun.  For school-aged children, this should be easy on you too.

Ask your child to choose several friends to invite over for a Sticker Party.  If you would like to do an invitation, use heavy card stock and letter stickers to provide the details.

Simple Sidewalk Chalk Fun

If you are looking for some easy party fun that is budget-friendly and creative this spring or summer, look no further than a box of sidewalk chalk. When each guest arrives, provide him or her with several chalk sticks tied together with a ribbon. The party activities can take place around the chalk. For games and activities using this magic stuff, check out these ideas:

  1. DIY Network has a great article on how to make sidewalk chalk for the especially creative!
  2. Draw a Hop Scotch pattern and play.
  3. Draw a Tic Tac Toe board and play.
  4. Make a sidewalk mural together.
  5. If an outside wall is available, cover it with large sheets of butcher paper, and have the kids enjoy making graffiti art with their chalk.
  6. Have the kids think up a small rhyme or poem together, and then write it out and illustrate it using the chalk.
  7. Play Hangman.
  8. Make a pattern with dots, and have the kids connect the dots to make a picture.
  9. Check out this FamilyFun.com Racing Rectangles game using sidewalk chalk.

Tabletop Maypole

A fun craft to make this spring, particularly on May Day, is a tabletop version of the maypole. It is much more manageable to make than an actual, full-size maypole for your yard. This is an easy and a fun way to mark spring’s entrance with your kids either at an Easter party or birthday party. It is also fun activity to simply celebrate May Day with!

Road Trip Games

story dice It’s summer, and that means it’s time to hit the road for the annual family vacation. It’s always a challenge to keep the “Are we there yet?” question at bay, but Cookie has come up with an extensive list of road trip games organized by age (3, 4, and 5 and up) to keep the kids busy during the long drive. This is a great resource chock full of excellent ideas.

Also, check out The Toby Show blog for a creative road trip game using story dice. It’s not only fun to paint pictures onto the wooden dice, but with a roll of these dice, children also have the opportunity to spin stories to pass the time. Love this too!
