Good evening , hope your weekend is going swell. We have been outside much of the day playing in the great weather. So the project I have for you today is an idea I got off the web. In about a week I will be putting my kids and the dog in the car to make the 14 hour trek to my parents house. That is 14 without stopping, did I mention it will be only me??? I am a bit nervous about the drive. I have been scouring the web for ideas on how to keep the kids entertained without the mindless DVD player. I came across the idea to give the kids tickets that signify how much time has passed, that way they have a way of quantifying how much time is left in the trip. Being the crafty person that I am I couldn't just go and by raffle tickets, I wanted to make it a little more festive and fun. So here is what I came up with:
So the jist is that I will give each of my daughters 16 tickets (I am being wishful) and every hour I will ask them to give me a ticket. Then they can count how many are left to see how much longer we have to go. On the set for my older daughter I put the numbers 1 - 16 on the back so that she can practice her number recognition. Hopefully this will keep them entertained a little???
Ticket Recipe:
- Ticket base cut from stamp on Elegant Edges at 2.2"h x 2.8"w
- Top ticket cut from stamp on Elegant Edges at 1.8"h x 2.2"w
- Font from Kate's ABCs cut at 1" and welded in CCR
I used the Imagine to get the colors which are from
I came I saw I created weekly color challenge. Love how bright they came out. So I will have a few more travel related projects coming up next week. Hope you have enjoyed and thanks for stopping by.
Sounds like a terrific idea. It keeps them occupied, they can learn AND they won't keep asking you!!! Thank you for playing along in the color challenge. I stopped the color challenges for the summer, but left the last challenge hanging. I will be posting the winner today.
