DIY For Halloween without Spending Much

Leave a reply

Halloween is just around the corner and a lot of kids are already getting excited with the prospect that they are going to do new projects. The materials sometimes used for DIY projects can be expensive though. Choosing the right project to do that will be enjoyed by kids will be the best thing that you can do.

DIY Door Decoration

This is a fun and easy project to make and the good part is that the materials that you need are inexpensive. Here are the things that you will need for this project:

  • Marker
  • Paper Plates
  • White Crepe Paper
  • Scissors
  • Scotch Tape or Masking Tape

decorSince doors should also be decorated so that children will also feel the excitement of the upcoming Halloween event, the door can be decorated like a ghost. The first thing that you have to do is create an outline of a ghost using a white crepe paper. Once you have already done this, you can then instruct the kids to draw eyes on the paper plates using the black marker. The type of eyes that can be drawn will depend on your preference. You can also use the paper plate to make the ghost’s mouth.

This is an easy project that you can do with kids and will look great on your door. After the Halloween season, it can be easy to remove the decorations already provided that you will do it again the year after, probably with a different character in mind or a decorated kids ATVs, next time?

Acoustic Guitar Playing for Kids

Leave a reply

There are some parents who try to force their children to play certain instruments. Most of the time, children are not that much appreciated in playing instruments but probably because of the appearance of some games like Guitar Hero, kids become interested in playing the guitar. A lot of people know though that you cannot just use a bass guitar immediately. In order to learn well, one would first need to use an acoustic guitar. Once the person knows more about it that is the time when the bass guitar can already be used. The whole process of using the acoustic guitar may be boring for some kids; you may want to make it sound better by using the yamaha thr5a acoustic guitar amp. It is likely that kids will appreciate it more this way.

Things in common

My kids may be fighting over small things most of the time, but they share a common interest in music. Both love to listen to music stored on their cell phones. They do have a common source of different songs on the internet. But when it comes to saving the songs to a CD, the older kid is the more orderly one. She saves it and marks the blank label properly so they can find it in case they misplaced it or got lost in the stacks of other CDs at home. Picture shows they were looking for some CD titles at Odyssey.
