Fun with Poster-board

 The Elementary school had a "Spring Fling", which was a mini-carnival sort of thing.  They had lots of little games to play and it is their big money-maker.  I got to assist a little.  I signed up to help make 2 of the games.  I did the "Where's My Pants" game, which required 3 small buckets and a boodle of legos.  Each bucket held one mini figure, top separated from the bottom.  The point of the game was to be the first to find your lego minfig's pants.

The other game I signed on to make was the "Creeper Toss".  That was super easy as well. (Why do you think I signed up for it?!)  I needed to cut a posterboard into a Minecraft Creeper face.  They already had the beanbags for the tossing.  I thought it came out quite nicely!

Not the sturdiest thing ever, but very cute!

Green spray paint for the board, black paint for the outlining of the eyes and mouth.

I did buy poster board in bulk, since the Exchange runs out very quickly. It was fortunate, since Marian had a science project.  A pretty AWESOME project, if I do say so myself!  She posed the question of what would happen if you substituted peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips in a fudge recipe. 

 In case you are wondering, all 3 make delicious fudge (using the original recipe from the marshmallow cream jar).  It was a lot of fun and enjoying the results was quite tasty.

And this week she handed in her pasteboard for the science fair.  I have also discovered the joy of sticker paper.  It is a normal sized sheet of paper, but is sticker paper!  It is marvelous!  I print the page or photos on it and then you peel off the back and stick it where you need it.  Awesomeness!
