 - WINTER STRIKEOUT

For this pitching contest, first mound up snow to create three bases and a pitcher's mound. They should each be about 2 feet high and 20 feet apart. Next, build a tin can pyramid on each base. The challenge is to knock down the stacks in order from first to third base by throwing snowballs from the pitcher's mound. The kid who succeeds with the fewest pitches wins.

KIDS... PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON

Why are some of the letters above the red line and others are below the red line?

ANSWER

OFFER YOUR CUPID HEART TO YOUR TEACHER AND YOUR SPECIAL VALENTINES!

.

CUPID'S HEART

THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED
.
 Heart shaped cookie cutter, 4-5"
Pink craft foam (I used glittery foam for the front and plain for inside)
Scissors
1 drinking straw
Pencil
Craft knife
2 fluffy pink feathers
White craft glue
White paint pen or a marker

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Trace two cookie cutter shapes onto the pink craft foam. If using two different colors, trace once on to each color and then cut the hearts out. Lay the drinking straw across the front of one of the hearts. Position it at an angle, then holding the straw in place, use a pencil to lightly mark two dots at the "entry" and "exit" points where you want the "arrow" to go through. Use the craft knife to cut slits in the heart, using the photo above as a guide. Insert the straw through the slits.

With the help of a grown-up, use the craft knife or scissors to cut a one inch slit down the center of the left end of the straw. Cut a triangle, about 2" in length, from the pink craft foam and insert it into the slit you just made in the straw. Add a little craft glue to secure. Put some craft glue inside the other end of the straw and insert the two pink feathers. Place the second pink foam heart on the table in front of you. Pipe a line of white craft glue to the top humps of the heart. Place the heart with the straw through it on top of the heart with the glue and line it up exactly. When the glue is dry, open the card and write "hug me" inside!
