Sunday School Craft IdeasThis page contains Sunday school craft ideas. Having fun and providing a meaningful learning experience is the goal with these artistic projects.

 

Organizing a Kid's Room InexpensivelyMy son has a ton of toys and games and his room can be a "big" mess. He also has a lot of toys that are very small. Big toy boxes can make it hard to find the smaller toys, and to keep sets together, but kids' organizers in stores can be over $50!

 

Candy Bottle GiftI use the small water plastic bottles and fill with small candies. The candy had to fit easily in the mouth of the bottle. Then add a ribbon and/or bow to give as a small and inexpensive gift.

 

Beautiful Snow Storm (North Carolina)I love snow, especially when it comes in a couple of inches and is gone in a few days. Here in central North Carolina, we get so excited when the weather man predicts snow.

 

Using Glittery Nail PolishTo enhance the beautiful glittery nail polishes of today, just use a basecoat color a shade close to the glittery one. You wont believe the difference this makes. Instead of having to use 2 or 3 coats of the glittery one, you only have to use 1 coat.

 

First Birthday Smash CakeIt has become popular to give children their very own small cake on their first birthday to do as they will with it. This is a great way to let the baby destroy the cake without ruining the cake for everyone else.

 

Tanning Lotion as Leather Shoe PolishI have a tan leather bag that got scuffed at the bottom and have been looking around for tan shoe polish, not finding anything. Everything I found was too dark - then I noticed that a self-tanning lotion I had left over from the summer was the right tan color.

Discarding Left Over GreaseOf course, I never pour it down the drain, but if it ends up in the kitchen trash bag, I often have drips on the floor after carrying it to the dumpster. So I use whatever empty can, soup, vegetables, whatever I have on hand, then put it into the freezer.

 

Reusable Refills for SwifferI purchase microfiber dish towels at the dollar store. Since they're not very good for drying dishes because they do not absorb water, I use them for my Swiffer to clean my kitchen and bathroom floor.

 

Mirrored Door Kids ChecklistMy daughter has mirrored closet doors, we use them to keep a daily check list of things to be done. She loves putting the check by the item, or sometimes a mini artwork flower. At the end of the day, we wipe off the checks and she's ready for the next day.

 

Finding Old Weight Watchers ProgramsA number of posters are asking for information on the old Weight Watchers Exchange Program from the 80s. eBay has listings for the Weight Watchers Quick Start PLUS Program Cookbook.
