Sparky’s Craft
I love keeping everything organized – that’s why I decided to make custom binder clips! Check them out! What you need:Binder clips, craft glue, fabric pieces, stickers, scrapbooking paper What you do: If you want to cover your clip with scrapbooking paper or fabric, measure it first and figure out how much you need. Cut it to fit. Spread a thin layer of glue all over your binder clip and stick the fabric or paper onto it. Let it dry. If you want to cover your clip with stickers, stick them on in an interesting pattern! You can always add embellishments with ribbons or permanent markers! I heard Molly say that she wanted to buy some clips, so I made a few with flowers and ribbon on them – I hope she buys them! I could use some KinzCash.
What about Millie?
School Council Minutes Taken by: Stoogles In Attendance: Salley, Purr-Cilla, Stoogles, Molly So today there was an emergency meeting of the School Council called about an issue regarding the fall fair. Molly showed up at school this morning all agitated and said she needed to talk to us. It turns out that Millie had seen one of our posters around Kinzville and got really excited about the fair. She couldn’t wait to find out from Molly about all the cool stuff that would be there. Problem was, when Molly told her, Millie said that some of the rides sounded kind of scary and that she wouldn’t win anything because she wouldn’t be any good at the games. So Molly asked us if we’d given any thought to what sort of entertainment we were planning for little kids. Purr-cilla piped up and said she knew all along this fair wasn’t being run properly and if she had been president she would have totally planned loads of fun activities for little kids. WHAT??? She has been part of the planning from day one and she has never said a thing about any of that! … Read more

Lucky Ducky Fall Fair Game
Molly here with a really easy game – even Millie might win a prize from this one! What you need: tub of water, lots of rubber ducks, dice, permanent marker, colored markers, large paper, prizes What you do: Fill the tub with water (always make sure babies and toddlers stay away from the tub!). On the bottom of each duck, write a number between 1-6. On the large paper, write the numbers 1-6. Beside each number, write the name of a prize. Roll a die (that’s one dice). Whatever number comes up is the lucky number. Have players pick ducks from the tub until someone gets the lucky number. Look on the chart to see which prize they should get. At the end of a turn, have the players put the ducks back into the tub and mix them around. Then play again until all the prizes are gone!
The School Council Makes Plans
School Council Minutes Taken by: Stoogles In Attendance: Salley, Purr-Cilla, Stoogles Today’s meeting was attended by the entire school council. We met to discuss planning the Fall Fair. Big shocker – Purr-cilla and Salley disagreed about how to arrange the attractions. Salley wanted to have the rides together in one area and the games in another. Purr-cilla didn’t like this idea. She said that everything should be scattered all over the place. She thought it would make it more interesting. Salley said that it would just be confusing to mix everything up, and if there were games and rides mixed up together, the ‘Kinz might miss something. Salley thought it would be easier for ‘Kinz to plan out their day if they knew they could find all the rides in one spot and all the games in the other. Also, we wanted it to be fast and simple when the Rental Place dropped off all the rides. If they had to be hauling them all over the schoolyard, it would just mean more time on set up and less time for fun! We were paying by the hour after all. When I said I … Read more
Roberta’s Cupcakes
For my cupcake contest entry I’m using my old standby recipe that I used for the bake sale in September. These cupcakes are my favorite! What you need: - One package yellow cake mix - Eggs/Oil/Milk (as per cake mix instructions) - One package brownie mix - Eggs/Oil/Milk (see above!) - Small tube yellow icing - Small tube red icing - Small tube green gel icing - Sesame seeds - An adult assistant to help you with this recipe What you do: Have your adult assistant help you make yellow cupcakes according to directions on package. Have your adult assistant help you make brownies according to direction on package. Bake in 9×13” pan so that brownies are not too thick. Use a drinking glass approximately the same size as your cupcakes to cut out 12 circles from your brownies. These are your ‘hamburger patties’. Cut your cupcakes in half horizontally. These are your ‘hamburger buns’. On the bottom half of each cupcake, place a brownie patty. Using yellow, red and green icing, top the brownie patty with ‘mustard, ketchup and relish’. Set the cupcake tops on top of the brownie patties and … Read more
Target Game
Sparky here with a great game idea! This is practically perfect for everyone! What you need: Large sheet of paper, paint, beanbags, prizes What you do: There are lots of different ways to design your target! You can: Paint a large circle, then a smaller circle in it, then smaller until you reach the middle. Each circle has a value. Where the user tosses their beanbag will determine what they win. Paint a grid. In each square, write the name of a prize. Whichever square the player’s beanbag lands on determines their prize. Paint small circles all over the large paper. Whichever circle the player’s beanbag lands on determines their prize. The game is really easy to play – just toss the beanbag onto the target and see what prize you win!
Purr-Cilla’s Craft
PJ Collie was telling me about these amazing corsages and I figured I could make them myself. Check them out! What you need: Circle of felt (about five inches across), scissors, fabric glue, pencil, pin backing What you do: Starting at the outside edge, draw a spiral on the circle of felt. Cut along the spiral. 3. Starting in the middle, roll the felt up to make a rose, gluing the fabric as you roll. See? Like this. Now roll it up from the middle! 4. Make sure to glue the end of the felt and hold it in place until it dries a little bit. 5. Glue the finished roses onto your pin backing. Leave them to dry. You can cut out a couple of leaves and glue those on before you glue on your roses, if you like. 6. Display your finished rose corsages on pieces of cardstock. You can even get extra crafty like me and come up with a company name. I think I’m going to go with Purr-Cilla’s Purr-Fect Creations. Nice, right?

Salley’s Craft
Hi everyone! I came up with a really neat craft to make for the Fall Fair. Check out these beautiful barrettes! What you need:Bobby pins, beads with large holes, rectangle of cardstock What you do: Choose what kind of bead you’d like to put on your barrettes. You can make matching ones or complimentary ones (for example, you could make a bee and a flower). Slide your beads all the way to the end of your bobby pin. The pin should still close properly (the bead shouldn’t make it stay open – if it does, you need thinner beads). When your barrettes are done, put them onto the cardstock. This allows for them to be displayed nicely!
