Drawing on the Trampoline with Sidewalk Chalk

Drawing on the Trampoline with Sidewalk Chalk, Thrifty Summer Fun

Kids get so bored during the summer! It is sometimes hard to come up with things that entertain them without spending a lot of money. Well, this idea is so simple, yet is sure to entertain for a little while! Make it even more fun by letting them have a squirt bottle, or squirt gun to spray their art off when they are done!

All you need is some sidewalk chalk, and a trampoline. We don’t usually think about drawing on things other than sidewalks with our sidewalk chalk, but we have done this many times and it washes of without any damage to your trampoline. We have used squirt bottles to “erase” our drawings when we are done, or turn on the sprinklers and let them get wet while their art work disappears. Either way,your kids will have fun and you won’t hear “I am bored” , for a few minutes anyway!

Football Juice Boxes ~ Football Party Idea

Ultimate Football Fan Room Made Easy with Football Wall Decals

Football Juice Boxes~Football Party Idea

This weekend is the big game! Whether you are hosting a party, going to a party, or planning on just tuning in at home, this idea will have even the littlest football fans feeling the football spirit! Or, maybe you aren’t watching the game at all, but are planning a sports themed party for a kid in your life. These would be perfect for that! A decoration that is useful and inexpensive!

You will need:

Brown paper (I used normal weight scrapbook paper but construction paper or card stock would also work)

White paper (Scraps work nicely)

Scissors and glue or tape

Juice boxes

Begin by cutting your paper into three strips. Now fold around your juice box creasing with your fingers as you get to an edge.

Tape or glue the paper to the box. I would recommend this, because otherwise the paper could slide off and then you will have a juice box accident on your floor. So, unless you are going to have the child take off the football paper before drinking, do yourself a favor and attach it to the box.

Once you have covered the juice box, you can cut off the end of your strip of paper. If you used paper with a white side like I did, you can use those scraps for the white accents. If not, grab a piece of printer paper or some scraps. Cut some thin strips. You will want one longer one and a few shorter ones. Attach them on to resemble the laces or threads. This would work great on boxes of crackers too. It would take more paper, but would make your party set up look great!

These would be awesome for a super bowl party! Need some ideas here are Over

DIY Locker Wallpaper For a Fraction of the Price!

DIY Locker Wallpaper For a Fraction of the Price!

This year my daughter starts middle school. Along with that rite of passage comes her first time using a locker. She was so excited and wanted to get dress up her locker and make it cool. I get that. Until I priced the stuff. The majority of what I could find was $15 at the least. Not a price I was willing to pay. I did research for it, and while it says it is “magnetic locker paper” it is actually basically thick wrapping paper with magnets that come with it to hold up the corners. That’s it! What a rip off! This company is making a killing off of middle school/ junior high kids!

Considering the fact that I am a tight wad, combined with the fact that I have 3 kids to go school shopping for, locker wallpaper just wasn’t in the budget. But, I decided why not try to make it on my own? The only downfall of this is that the stuff you buy comes with the sections cut out for the lock, and coat hooks. Big deal!

I had my daughter pick out some wrapping paper she loved. Since it was less than $3 a roll, I let her pick two. Then I followed the dimensions from the package of the premade stuff. I cut two rectangles of each pattern in each dimension. The depth is wider than the width so 2 rectangles were 40 inches x 12 inches and 2 were 40 inches x 18 inches.

This size turned out to be way too big! (That made me wonder how mad I would’ve been if I had paid for the precut stuff and the whole thing had to be readjusted!)

So we went to the school, where I proceeded to embarrass said daughter by hanging the wallpaper she so desperately wanted (kids, can’t win right?)

It turned out cute! With the exception of having to fold some sides in to make them small enough to fit, it was relatively easy to install! I brought a pair of scissors with me and was able to cut a hole for the lock section and poke holes for the coat hooks.

We chose to hang ours with the Loctite funtak adjustable blue strips so that it wouldn’t leave any trace on the locker. I did it in a few spots down each side. It seemed to work really well!

So there you have it! Now you can make your own and decorate your tween’s locker!
