Tour of Webkinz World: St. Bernard Gallery
By Molly Pig I was so excited to get to report on the St. Bernard Gallery of Fine Arts! I absolutely LOVE this place. I decided the best way to learn all about its colorful history was to talk to its founders, Fluffington and Meriwether St. Bernard. This is what they had to say. MP: Thanks for sitting down with me today, Fluffington and Meriwether! FSB: Not a problem, my dear. I’m always happy to talk about art. MSB: And I’m always happy to talk about teacups. MP: I guess that’s the first thing; the St. Bernard Gallery of Fine Arts isn’t just about paintings and sculptures – it also features Webkinz World’s only teacup exhibit. MSB: The crowning glory of the gallery, if I do say so myself. FSB: Well, that’s YOUR opinion, Great-Aunt Meriwether. Some people appreciate the paintings and sculptures, you know. MP: Of course, I didn’t mean to say that – MSB: Yes, Fluffington, everyone likes your pictures and statues. They’re all very nice. But do you know why people COME to the gallery in the first place? They come for the teacups. My exhibit of over one … Read more
Alex’s Sweet Craft
This is a super-easy (and yummy) craft! What you need:Candy bars, scrapbooking paper, scissors, glue stick, markers What you do: Cut your scrapbooking paper to fit over top of the wrapped chocolate bar. Decorate your paper – create your own chocolate bar name and design. Glue the paper in place. Make a whole bunch of these – they’re very popular!
Cowabelle’s Hula Hoop Game
Cowabelle here with the easiest fair game EVER! All you need are some hula hoops and some participants! What you need: Hula hoops, participants (one per hoop) What you do: Have everyone get into hula-hooping position. Yell “Start!” and everyone should start hooping. As players drop their hoops, they’re out. The last player still spinning their hoop is the winner! If you have a group of hooping experts, you can always challenge them to go faster or slower and see if they can keep their hoops moving!
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.

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!
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?
