Pretty Pens
One day, my friend and I bought a bunch of fake flowers, lots of pens, and green floral tape. We held a pen next to a flower stem and used the green floral tape to bind the pen and the flower together. When we were done, we sold them to lots of people-we sold out!

Chocolate Popcorn
Ask an adult to pop a bag of popcorn and pour it into a bowl. Sprinkle chocolate candies or chocolate chips on top. It's a delicious snack to have at a sleepover.
Beachy Keen
Find lots of summer photos that you like, and put them into colorful picture frames. Put the pictures around your room, and place some seashells next to each picture frame. You can even put a beach towel on the foot of your bed. You'll think your bedroom is a tropical island!
Arrive Early
If you're baby-sitting for a new family, ask if you can come 15-20 minutes early to get to know the kids and get familiar with the house.
Sing a Song
My friends and I always play this game. It's really easy. All you do is ask someone to play some music and then to hit Stop. Players are passing around a stone until the music stops. Whoever has the stone has to sing a song that the rest of the group chooses. If she doesn't know the song, the group must pick another.
Jewelry Container
Ask an adult to buy air-dry modeling clay at a craft store. Form the clay into a small bowl. Carve designs into the clay with a toothpick. Stick small beads into the clay if you'd like. Let the clay dry. When the clay is completely hardened, put rings or earrings inside. It's a jewelry container made by you!
Round and Round
Do you have problems with rounding in math? I did until I learned this poem. It goes, 'Look right next door. Four or less, we ignore. Five and up, add one more.' I hope this helps!
