Franklin
the Turtle
Dress your child in green sweats. Tie a red
bandana around her neck. Have her wear a red
baseball cap. For the shell, cut a circle out
of poster board and cut a couple holes in it
to loop a ribbon thru to tie it. Then, use
the spray foam insulation to cover the poster
board. Next, paint over with green and brown
spray paint. Voila -- Franklin! I really like
the ideas of sweats ''dressed up.'' The kids
are so much more comfortable in them and they
actually leave them on.
A
Lego Piece
Get a big box, cut a hole in one end for
the head, and two for the arms. The box
should go down to about her knees. Spray-paint
it any color: yellow, red, green, white
or black. Then find something for the six
''bumps'', perhaps disposable salad bowls
or little butter tubs. Paint these the
same color as the box, and glue them on
in tow columns of three each, as you would
see on a Lego. Dress in the same color
clothing underneath.
Witches, Wizards and
Goblins
Invitations: Buy several cheap plastic
magic wants. Print out invitations on white
paper with important information. Scroll up
around want. Tie with orange and black ribbon.
Hand deliver to guests.
Decorations: String Christmas lights around
the entrance way. Hang silver and gold
stars through out the party area. Mylar
gold and silver balloons can also be hung.
Cut out ghost shapes in Mylar and hang.
Glow-in-the-dark tape attached to walls,
doors, lamps etc. is nice when lights are
low. Grave markers can be made from Styrofoam
sheets - use felt-tip markers to make inscription. |
