Funny Character Pillows (Kid's gifts)

 Funny Character pillows for the kids for Christmas!  Above is the Japanese character "ponyo".  Below are penguins, Yoda, a pig and a pillow fight pillow.

 You don't need a pattern, just start with a square and place the eyes where you want them.  Then sew it on once it's like you like it!  Fun!  My kids still have these from years ago!

Winter Pillows

 More WINTER pillows.  Made the same way as the others.  Embroidery floss for the words.  Freehand the words to look more crafty.  I aslo attached a snowflake button or two.  We put these pillows up in January.

Snowflake pillow!

This is so fun to make!  Just cut out a snowflake out of felt instead of paper.  Then you stitch it onto a pillow.  You can tell ours is super old, but it's a fun idea for the kids.  Remember to keep the detail simple on the snowflake.  Stuff it and blanket stitch it.

Christmas stockings (Handmade)

We make our stockings for our kids, cause they're so personal and not hard!  You just cut out a stocking shape out of felt. Cut out some shapes of a design you want on it.  I made a cup of cocoa, with whip cream, a candy cane, and marshmallows around the bottom.  They don't have to be perfect.  That's what makes them cute!

Then you simply stitch them on with embroidery floss.  After the front is done, you sew the back and front together and then blanket stitch the sides.  Originally I used fabric paint to write the names on.  I wanted to keep them all matching so, each time we have a child I use the others as templates to copy.  Simple, a little time consuming, but fun! And another item to hand into the county fair next year!  Ha!

Christmas Paper Crafts

Here are a couple of 

Christmas Crafts we've made....

Super simple!

Made completely from paper and super cheap!

Tutorials are all on line.  I' just giving ideas of cheap easy deco.  We got all the paper at yard sales through the year!  The paper doesn't even have to match, like a calico quilt!  It gives a home made feel!  And you can dump the deco after the party since it's just paper.

 Here are pictures of how we made the twisty star.  I used hot glue to glue it.  You could also use glue dots, but hot glue was cheaper.  Cit out 6 squares.  Fold them into a triangle and make 3 cuts.  Then alternate the direction you glue it.  I hope this makes sense.  If not, you can google it :)

Class Party ideas - Halloween

Here are some ideas I copied off the internet!

Games for class parties at school...

How Many ?

Fill a jar with candy corn and have each guest write down their best guess as to how many candies are in the jar. This is a good game to play at the beginning of the party, as guests filter in. Announce the winner at the end of the party--They win the jar! Try candy bars instead of candy corn - much tastier!

Pumpkin Pass Along

Before the party, make some jack-o-lanterns using orange rubber balls (about the size of oranges) and a permanent marker. You'll need one for each team. Divide the players into teams. To start the game, place the "jack-o-lantern" under the chin of the first player. That player passes the "jack-o-lantern" to the next player without using hands and then to the next player and so on. The first team to pass the pumpkin all of the way through the line wins.

You can also play this game by passing the Pumpkin from player to player using hands behind the back which isn't quite as fun but also does not require the players to get so "personal ".

Mummy Wrap Relay

Divide the players into groups. I find groups of three or four work best. Each group needs a player that is the "mummy" and the other players are the "wrappers." Provide each group with a roll of toilet paper. The object of the game is to be the first group to wrap a mummy using the entire roll f tissue.

Trick or Treat

Before the party cut several strips of paper; about twice as many strips as there are children. Then on half of the strips write the word "treat". On the other half write "trick" with a trick such as "hop on one foot", "pat your head and rub your belly". Then place all of the strips in a Halloween bag. Have the children form a circle. Walk around the circle. Each player will draw a paper out of the bag and perform a trick or receive a treat such as a sticker, Halloween pencil or small piece of candy.

Quick Recall

Place theme related items on a tray. Show the tray to the guests for a few seconds. Players write down or call out as many items as they can remember. Play this same game with a twist--Take an item away -can they recall what's missing?

How Many Words?

See how many words you make from SCARECROW or JACK-O-LANTERN. For older kids only. Use a write-on wipe-off board for group play or distribute paper and pencils.

The Great Popcorn Challenge

Set out bowls full of popcorn at one end of the room, empty bowls at another. Teams must transport the popcorn from the full bowl to empty, using a measuring cup. Note: popcorn is a choking hazard for children under three.

Cotton-ball Scoop

Fill large mixing bowls with cotton balls and give each guest a spoon. Kids must scoop out as many cotton balls as possible in one minute - without using fingers!
