Handprint Stepping Stone
My daughter made this one year during summer camp. It is a fun and easy project that will be a great memento of your child's youth!
All you have to do is:
1. Mix cement with water in a large pail and follow instructions on cement packaging. Once cement is mixed very well pour into a pie tin.
2. Smooth the top of the cement and let it set. On average let it sit for about an hour. When you are able to make a handprint without it disappearing it is ready to decorate.
3. Have child spread out fingers and firmly press into the cement. Once hand print is done decorate it with objects of personal choice; stones, shell, jems, etc… Child could also write something in the cement.
4. Allow Stepping Stone to dry for many days. One week should be enough time. Optional – Paint handprint and writing if there is writing.

Making Boats Out Of Old Party Supplies
It was a rainy day so my children decided they wanted to make boats out of old birthday party supplies and this was the final project.....
Supplies
Steps
(My kids love to use tape but alot of these steps could use glue instead of tape depending on preference)
1. An adult should pierce a hole in the bottom of the cup with a knife or scissors. Make sure the hole is smaller than the end of the fork. Having cup turned upside down put just the end of the fork in the hole and tape to cup for security.
2. With cup still upside down tape it to the center of the face part of the plate.
3. Take some paper and cut out a sail for your boat and tape it to the Tines(Prongs) of the fork.
4. Now take your napkin and cute out the pictures on it. If there are no pictures on the napkin, cut out shapes. Tape them onto the sail and/or cup part of your boat.
And there you have it a boat made out of old party supplies...... Enjoy!
