kids bike decorating ideas image
Zoey
I babysit alot the activities can be for any age of children. I'm just looking for a really long list of activities that are kind of time consuming and a lot of fun, for both me and the kids thanks!
Answer
-Make play dough! http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Salt-Dough-Recipe.html
You can even take a small food storage container (of yours) to have the kids decorate with stickers, etc. that will hold their play dough it.
-Decorate a pillow case/T-shirt/etc..
Bring your accessory that you are going to color on. Take some permanent markers for them to use, but make sure they don't write on anything else- include themselves.
-Go outside!
Play with chalk.
Blow bubbles. (you can even make them)
Take a walk/bike ride
Visit a park
Have a picnic
Bring some water guns
Do a scavenger hunt: Have them find a pink flower, a blue car, etc.
-Have a dance party!
Put some songs like: The Macerana, the twist, chicken dance, hokey pokey, electric slide, etc. on a CD or a playlist on your ipod. Turn off the lights, expect for some dimmed ones or a lamp. Try to get a diso ball. (glow sticks if the kids are above the age of 7) Freeze dance for the little ones!
-Play games!
Hide and seek
Twister
Go fish
Slap Jack
Candy Land
Bowling (use soup cans as pins, and a ball)
-For girls: Do a pedicure!
Take a large bowl, if you have one and put a towel under it. Fill it up with warm water and bubbles/soap. Let her sit on the coach with her feet in the bowl. Massage her feet, then paint her toes.
-Frost cookies!
Make the cookies at your house and take them with to avoid using their stove! Bring along some frosting and sprinkles. Have them decorate their own. Rice krispies also work but are quite messy!
-ColoIring
You can take big poster boards and stamps, stickers, markers... Or you can print off coloring sheets, and have them make their own coloring book. Drawing contests for older kids are always fun!
-Build a "tent!"
Very fun in my opinion. Put chairs in a circle, and lay a big blanket on top! Crawl in and enjoy.
I love going "camping" with this idea. Set up the tent, roast marshmallows in the microwave, do a scavenger hunt, etc.
- Balloon games..
This is only good for kids older than about 5... The little ones can choke on broken balloon pieces. Play "keep it in the air" or do the game with the balloon tied to your ankle. Make sure to clean up!
-Limbo...
-Movie "theater"
Bring 4-5 movies for them to pick from, make tickets, have a concession stand.
A fun idea with this topic is if you can bring some large cardboard boxes to make fake cars out of and have a pretend drive in movie.
Just be creative!!

What are some Valentines day Pranks I can play on my boyfriend?
Christina
My boyfriend of two years and I have challenged eachother to pranks for Valentines, and I have NO Idea what to do! People are getting really excited to see what we come up with, and I've got nothing! Help!
Answer
If you can get into his apartment or bedroom when he's not there, you could plaster every surface with pictures of you (weird pics are better) with "I Wuv U" or some other silly message scrawled on every picture. Spend a few bucks at your local photocopy store to mass-produce your weird photos in the hundreds.
_____________________________________
The "stuff his car with inflated balloons" prank I hear all the time is old. But here's a variation on that. Cover his car (or bike, or refrigerator) with hearts! But you don't want to damage the surface of his car/bike/whatever. So you use magnets! I couldn't find heart-shaped magnets in bulk, but you could order a pack of 72 one-inch rectangular magnets for $3.99: http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/browse/processRequest.do?demandPrefix=11&productId=IN-48/2573&mode=Unknown&requestURI=processProductsCatalog&xsaleSku=57/9500&sku=48/2573&cm_sp=Cross%20Sell-_-Product%20Detail-_-Product%20Detail
Glue a heart to every magnet. Stick them all over his car, and voila! He has a car that is dotted with hearts! Or you could glue *anything* on those magnets. Suddenly his car is dotted with 72 Elmo heads! Or 72 cookies (stickers OR real cookies!) Find something round that looks like big dots, and glue it on those magnets to "polka-dot his car".
Even sillier: buy the 12-foot lengths of magnetic strips. Glue stuff to the strips before applying them to his car. Even better, if you have craft skills, see if you can find some fake fur at the fabric store, and buy 2 yards of it. Cut the fur into one-inch wide strips that are six feet long. Attach two 6-foot fur strips to each 12-foot long magnetic strip. Glue or hot glue might not work, but with a needle and thread you could loop the thread through the fur and around the magnetic strip about every 10 inches so it stays on. The finished product is several 12-foot-long magnetic FURRY STRIPES that you use to decorate his car! I vote for hot pink fur! Here are the magnetic strips I'm talking about:
http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/browse/processRequest.do?demandPrefix=11&productId=IN-57/1500&mode=Unknown&requestURI=processProductsCatalog&xsaleSku=57/9500&sku=57/1500&cm_sp=Cross%20Sell-_-Product%20Detail-_-Product%20Detail
Perhaps you could apply glue to one side of the magnetic strip, and cover it completely with pink glitter. Then you'll have pink glitter stripes to add to his car! It will be a super-girly car.
Instead of waiting for the magnets or magnetic strips to be shipped to you, I bet you could find some in your local crafts store. Magnetic sheets are fun to play with, too. You can take a 8" by 11" or larger magnetic sheet, and paint or glue the sign for a fake business on it. Attach it to his car, and voila! he's driving the company car of some weird business. Be sure to include his name in the business slogan:
Mike's Balloon Excursions for Kids. "Every child should have the Balloon Boy experience!" (include picture of balloon boy's silver balloon)
Jason's Taxidermy Service "We really know our stuff."
Steve's Drilling Service "Your Hole Is Our Goal"
That last one is from here: http://www.holyducttape.com/gallery/holevan.jpg
Here are more business signs--make up your own version for the magnetic sheet:

_____________________________________
This next pair of pranks requires your best geek skills, or assistance from a geek. And it works only if you have access to your boyfriend's computer.
Easy computer prank: set up a ridiculous screensaver image. It can be a weird animation or picture, or, it could be the kind or screen that looks like your computer's hard drive has failed (but don't give him a heart attack!)
Hard computer prank: takes a bit of skilled effort in advance: go to Tucows.com and download a font editor utility. Edit a font so that the letter "i" is dotted with a heart. Do all this on your computer, and save the font file on a flash drive. Sneak into his computer, download the font from the flash drive into the system's font collection, and make it his default font for the internet. I did this to someone before--it's very subtle. They really crack up when they suddenly notice that every "i" is dotted with a heart.
_____________________________________
Mean pranks, of the "hope he doesn't have a heart attack" variety:
Besides making it look like his computer just died, there's the old "leave the used pregnancy test on the bathroom sink." A variation on that works if you already had a child with your boyfriend/husband: print out the following web page, and leave it on your desk or somewhere that he'll notice it: http://www.dnatesting.com/
Some guys, like my little brother, actually enjoy mean pranks that don't hurt anyone, but that are kinda scary.
_____________________________________
I also like the human heart idea suggested by "Justice"--guys who like horror flicks might actually love it. And since many guys think valentine's day is an annoyance, they might like the irreverence of the "here's my bloody heart" message. Could you get a cow's heart from the local butcher? Er, that might be too gross for you to deal with.
