Steps:1) Sit down with your kids and help them navigate Pinterest for ideas. We found a ton of cute ideas on Pinterest. They also came up with a few good ideas on their own by looking at other pictures. 2) Decide what your budget is going to be and talk with your kids about the budget. It is important to help kids understand money and this is a great opportunity to do just that. 3) Take your kids to Deseret Industries, Good Will, or the Salvation Army store. 4) Help them pick out the items they want to decorate with that are within the set budget. 5) When at home plan out where the decorations are going to go and what the steps are to complete each decoration. 6) Help your kids create their decorations. Sometimes this is just sitting back and watching them create them other times they might need a little more hands on help. |
Marry-Go-Round Ghosts
How we created them:
1) We got 4 hot dog sticks and hammered them in the grass. 2) Then we got 4 styrofoam balls and pushed them down on the handles of the hot dog sticks. 3) We them grabbed some white bed sheets we grabbed from Deseret Industries and stapled them to the styrofoam balls. | 4) We then grabbed the sides of the sheets and stapled them together so it looks like the ghosts are holding hands. 5) We then spray painted the white sheets. |
