Popcorn Flowers

Make popcorn, then color with different color tempra paints. For stems and leaves use pipe cleaners. Simply glue them onto a sheet of card stock or heavy duty construction paper and glue on popcorn as the flowers. Let the kids use their imagination and make their own creation.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU TELL THE KIDS NOT TO EAT THE POPCORN...I solve this problem by having little cups of regular popcorn beside them to eat while they are making their creations

Cotton Ball Race

This is a fun and challenging Relay race. Spread out cotton balls in a designated area. Each player has their hands tied behind their backs, and vaseline on their nose. When the game begins, the player walks to a cotton ball, bends down and picks up the cotton ball with their nose. The child or team to get the most cotton balls back to the starting line wins! This is a hilarious game for the kids and to watch!
