Wouldn’t it be fun to make an award for your children or grandchildren. You can do it at AWARD MAKER and it’s free. Maybe your child has been working to achieve a goal in sports, music or reading. You can make them an award to celebrate their accomplishment. You could also make some funny awards to give out at a family gathering or reunions. Let your child make up an award to give to a family member or special friend. Have a weekly or monthly “Awards Night” in your home and invite special people to receive an award. The possibilities are endless, just use your imagination.

I’m always looking for easy and inexpensive ways to create something cute. My granddaughter wanted a princess hat so with crepe paper, wire and beads we came up with this garland. She helped me make it.
You’ll Need: crepe paper, beads and wire
Directions:
1. Measure enough wire to fit the child’s head and a little extra for securing together when finished.
2. Form it into a circle.
3. Weave the crepe paper onto the wire stopping every few weaves to add the beads. Depending on how large the beads are you’ll want to add 3 or 4 together so they’ll show up.
4. Continue until you reach the end and secure together.
This would be an easy activity for a little girls party.

Decorations: Use balloons with swirling, bubble like colors.
Food: Bake a cake in a round mold or a metal mixing bowl. Frost it smoothly with white frosting. Save 3 or 4 tablespoons of frosting to color then swirl the different colors of frosting through the white frosting on the cake, the way colors swirl through a bubble.
Serve punch with round ice cubes floating in it.
Make sandwiches of bread cut in circles.
Activities: Give each guest a large plate covered with bubble mix and a straw. Let them practice blowing bubbles then have a bubble contest.
Give prizes for:
The biggest bubble
The highest pile of bubbles
The pretties bubble
The longest lasting bubble
Blowing a bubble inside a bubble
Favors: Bubble gum, jars of bubbles, candy that looks like bubbles, or balloons.
