Make your own face paint
Get a few small containers like baby food jars to store the paints. Place one teaspoon cornstarch (or baby powder), half a teaspoon of cold cream and half teaspoon water in each container and mix well until blended. Add a drop of food colouring one at a time until you get the desired colour for each jar.
It’s definitely recommended to start with the primary colours – red, blue and yellow – as you can mix these together later if you need green, purple or orange. But you will also want a jar of white (just leave the mix on its own without food colouring) and black.

Make It
Organize your childs art work
Scan your kids' artwork into a book so you don't have to keep 1,000 pieces of paper forever. I love this especially as they get older--brilliant idea!! Another idea would be to scan all of your childrens artwork and make a poster from walmart.
How To: Make a Mini-Marshmallow Popper or pom pom popper
Once you’ve cut off the bottoms of these paper cups and slipped on balloons, you’ve got a springy surface for launching spongy sweets into the air. Host a contest to see who can pop marshmallows the farthest or get the most into a bowl that’s a few feet away.
Total time: 10 minutes

Knot the end of the balloon, then snip off 1⁄2 inch from the top.

Boo-Nilla Shake
To decorate the cups
For 12 faces, place 1/3 cup (2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; stir. Using a small brush, paint chocolate inside glasses (if it hardens too soon, microwave 20 seconds more). Let set a few minutes before adding shake. Prepare glasses up to a day ahead, but don't fill until ready to serve.
Dice Solution
Sometimes it drives me crazy when the kids roll their two dice and they fly to opposite sides of the room... and Sometimes it drives me crazy with how loud the dice can be.
Solution: Roll the dice in a tupperware type container. It really has enough room for the dice to roll.
I saw this picture on pinterest. Great idea.
