Here is an activity that won’t break the bank.

Thank you very much!!! I love it all!!
I’ve actually done those lacing cards with a bunch of little peeps at my son’s 4th b’day party last year. It was fun, but any younger and it’s hard. Thanks for the links. 🙂
What a great compilation of activities! We’re definitely going to do at least a few of those ideas!
Thanks for sharing 🙂

There is not a kid around who doesn’t like a cardboard box! Highlight of my summers when I was little was a neighbor getting something big and us kids getting the box. However, I’m thinking that the cheetos game could be a close second. Make sure to post a photo of yourself wearing that headgear!
