 Memory Box

What you need:

  • Shoe Box
  • Wrapping paper
  • Markers, tape, glue
  • Stickers, glitter, cool stuff

 

What to do: 

First, wrap the shoebox (like a present), but remember to wrap the lid and box separately so you can take the lid off and on.  Use the stickers, glitter, markers, and other favorite stuff to decorate it.

Next, put the stuff in the box that you want to remember, such as:  movie tickets, pictures, notes, etc.  Keep adding mementos to your box.  Then you can look in your box, at times, to remember all the fun you've had!

 
Sugar-Cone Cornucopia PDF Print E-mail

These miniature horns-of-plenty-which can also be used as  a name card-make fun party favors or snacks for Thanksgiving.

Materials: 

  • Sugar cones
  • Ribbon
  • Store bought decorator's icing
  • Fruit-shaped candies or cereal or Cranberry Nut Snack Mix (see recipe below)
  • Doilies or a 5" round of construction paper

 

How To Make It:

1.       For each child, tie a ribbon around the opening of a sugar cone.

2.       With a tube of store-bought decorator's icing, squirt the name of each child along the side of the cone.

3.       Place the cone on a doily-covered saucer.  Then fill each cone with candies, cereal or Cranberry Nut Snack.  For an inexpensive alternative, use fruit-shaped cereal.  Let the goodies spill out over the opening, so it is truly a horn-of-plenty!  Kids can hold this treat easily, too!)
