Homemade Headbands
A great moneymaker is creating your own headbands. Buy plain plastic headbands and decorate them with flowers, sequins, or whatever else you like. I spent only $9 when I bought the supplies for the headbands and ended up making $38!
How would a frog feel if he hurt his leg?
Not too hoppy!
Cheese Cake
Sprinkle shredded cheese on a rice cake. Place the rice cake on a microwave-safe plate, and ask an adult to microwave for a few seconds. It's a cheesy treat!
Timed Tidying
Clean your room little by little each day. Set a timer for 15 minutes, and on the first day, make your bed and clean off any clutter on or around it. The next day, straighten up your bookshelf and put your books away, and so on. Your room will be totally organized before you know it!
Puppet Theater
When babysitting, if the child has a temper tantrum or feels sad, make two puppets from mittens or paper bags, or have two stuffed animals talk to each other. Put on a little play, and the child might be smiling in no time. Puppets are great for distracting kids!
In It to Ribbit
This is a great game to play with a group. Sit in a circle and choose a person to start. The first person says, "One frog." The next person says, "In the water." And the next person says, "Kerplunk!" Continue around the circle and say, "Two frogs," "In the water," "Kerplunk!" and keep adding to the number of frogs. Someone is out when she says the wrong number, forgets the number, or laughs-you have to keep a straight face for this game!
Homemade Picture Frame
You can make a new picture frame and not even need to buy anything. Ask a parent to help you to cut an unused box into a picture-frame shape. Decorate the picture frame with paint, markers, glitter, buttons, or anything else you like. When the paint and glue are dry, attach a picture to the undecorated side of the frame using a glue stick. There you go-a new picture frame that didn't cost a penny!
That's a Plan!
Every day, write down your assignments in a planner right after the teacher assigns them. When you get home, check off the assignments as you finish them.
