Inspiring Mothers, Women and Families
I am currently assigned to work with the Cub Scouts within my Church group. It is a job that at times I really enjoy although somedays make me want to pull my hair out! Just sayin’! But this is only because the boys have so much…{how should I say this?…} unrestrained ENERGY! Don’t get me wrong…I really enjoy each and every boy and their fun personalities, but sometimes when they are all together, it gets a little crazy! Know what I am talking about? Ever been there?

We are in full blown winter over here…are you? Here is a super simple activity that you could make right now to entertain the kids with…Snow Paint!
Simply take some water bottles and fill with water and food coloring. The more food coloring, the darker the paint. Super simple concept and idea. My kids were able to play with some this past weekend after church and actually spent quite a bit of time outside painting their “masterpieces”.
The only thing I would caution you on is that I am not sure if the food coloring will stain the kids clothing. So with that said, make sure you don’t send them out in that cute white coat they just got for Christmas!
*edit–One reader Stephanie has done this with her kids and cautioned to keep the spray away from vinyl fences! Thanks for the tip Stephanie!
Anyone else out there enjoying the snowy weather?

Today I have another Idea Room reader project to share with you. Aren’t my readers creative? This time we have Tricia from Be Prepared, Not Scared! She shares with us a fun Halloween game. If you are looking for a fun and easy game for an elementary classroom party or just for fun, look no further. Tricia shares one with you today and even provides you a FREE printable! Here’s Tricia…
Have you ever heard of the game . . . Don’t Eat Frank?
All you need to play the game is a
package of small halloween candies like M&M’s or Candy Corn,
and the Game Cards.
I’ll supply the game pieces . . . YOU supply the candy!
This is a great game for classroom parties.
Divide the class into groups or if stick together as one group if
you are playing as a family.
Put a piece of candy on each of the squares on the card.
Have one person leave the room.
The rest of the group will choose one of the
Halloween caracters to be “FRANK”.
The person can come back into to the room.
He or she can eat the candy from the card until they get to the
square that was chosen to be “FRANK”.
As soon as they go to pick up that piece of candy
every will yell, “DON’T EAT FRANK!” and their turn is over.
Let everyone in the group take a turn.
Each time they leave the room the rest of the group
will choose a NEW FRANK!
It’s a Super Fun and Super Easy
way to keep EVERYONE entertained!
