Just Add Stickers

There is something very relaxing about a Sensory activity. I made this Valentine's Day activity for Little Miss, we both like kinetic sand, it's fun to play with and isn't as messy as some other sesory bin materials. I also don't think there is an age limit on sensory activities.  I found all the material I used at the Dollar Store. This would be very easy to make using any materials you have on hand.  The supplies I used are: • Container (I used a heart shaped chip and dip bowl) • Kinetic sand • Heart jewels (or any Valentine's craft supply works) • 'Shovels' (I used wooden spoons because it's not beach season so I couldn't find any little sand shovels.) • 'I dig you' sign Activity:  Open and dump.

Over the years we have acquired a good amount of football decorations and come up with football themed activities and games for family friendly Super Bowl parties. This year we added some new decorations to our collection and came up with a few new activities. We started by ordering a pack of photo props. Little Miss and I assembled them and I used a metal bucket and some floral foam to display the photo props upright, which also makes this a nice centerpiece.  This year I thought it would be fun to have our guests vote for who they think will win. I made this little poster with construction paper and white printer paper. We hung the poster near the TV with pens available.  To make it fun we are giving little prizes to the winners, football keychains with the year written with a permanent white marker. I hope these easy party ideas provide some inspiration! Happy Super Bowl Sunday and happy crafting!
