DIY Medal Desplay

-
Summer is slowly coming to an end and although I am looking forward to sweaters and all the fall vibes we have had a great summer and we have had a lot of family fun. The kids both played soccer this summer and it was Little Man's first year as a referree. 
The end of the soccer season means a tournament. Little Miss was so excited to display her soccer medal. We decided to make a little display for the medals she has so far (and some of mine!)
What you need:
• Wood frame (from the Dollar Store)
•  Paint (We used acrylic, purple, turquoise and sparkle)
• 4 hooks (I used the 3M removable transparent ones because that's what I had but any would work or nails if you don't have hooks)
• Your child's initial (I printed mine with the cricut but a wooden letter from a craft store would look nice)
What to do:
1. Paint the wood frame I the color or pattern of your choice. Little Miss chose the colors and design.
2. Wait for the paint to dry. Measure our the hooks. I chose to put 4 hooks about 2 8nches apart.
3. Glue on the initial and attach the hooks. If you are using 2M hooks Wait a few hours before hanging the medals.

Hang your medal holder and add your medals.
Happy crafting!

DIY Minecraft Nerf Gun Target

We have been having fun with nerf guns in the backyard this summer. To change it up  from Nerf Gun battles we decided to make some targets to practice on. Materials: Cardboard box Paint pens  Duct tape  Measure the targets, one big circle in the middle, four smaller circles around the middle target. Cut out the circles, measure about a 1/2" from the edge and cut the contour of the small circles. Measure 1" on the center circle and cut the contour. Draw a character on each target. We chose a creeper for the middle target and pigs for the smaller targets. Place the target in their perspective circles, measure twine to hang each target in place. Duct tape the twine to the target and the targets to the support. Tape all the shapes to their respective openings. Add point value for each shape.  It's  time for target practice! Happy crafting!

There are so many great yoga game ideas for kids out there, this is one that I found that is good for all age groups. The original idea was picking up the pom-poms with your toes only but I found that you can make many variations as you go. Ask the kids for ideas as you're playing as well it's fun to see what they will think of. Toe-ga Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Sit in a circle around the pom-poms. Each player sits back, hands on the floor, knees bent. Place an empty bowl near each player's feet. 123 go, using only their toes each player has to put as many pom-poms in their bowl as they can. Yoga pose pom-pom pick up Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Standing or sitting in a circle choose a yoga pose that everyone can do. While in the pose each player has to place as many pom-poms in their bowls as they can.  Some poses to try: Downward dog, use your hands to pick up the pom-poms.  Tree pose use your toes to pick up the pom-poms.
