Track Your Money

This is a fun website activity for you and your kids. It keeps track of where ‘George’, a one dollar bill goes. You can start your own dollar’s journey, or if you receive a bill already marked, you should enter it in so others can see where their money has been. Check it out. Where’s George

Office Mouse Prank

Take a piece of clear tape and place it over the mouseball. This will prevent the mouse ball from turning and frustrate the user.  Or use a piece of electrical or masking tape to cover the infrared sensor.

This trick is quite easy for the user to figure out and it is easy to set up.

However, if you really want to be cruel, slightly unplug the mouse cable from the computer as well.

Treasure Hunt & Noisemaker

You’ll need:

•Small Soda or Water Bottle
•Rice
•Beads, Charms, Glitter, Sequins, Other Small Items
•Small Kitchen Funnel
•Craft Glue

Instructions:
Start out by cleaning the bottle well and removing the label. Make sure the bottle is totally dry before you start this project.

Place the end of the funnel into the bottle and start filling it! Start out with about a cup of rice. You can add more or less if you like. Then, start adding any small items you would like to ‘search’ for in the bottle. It can be beads, charms, small toys, etc. Make sure if young children are helping you that they do not put any of the small items in their mouth. You can also add some sparkle to your bottle by adding glitter or sequins.

Once you have everything you want in your bottle, spread some glue around the threads on the neck and replace the cap tightly. This will prevent the cap from falling off or being removed by small fingers.

In the bottle above, I added several shaped beads. They are shaped like a variety of items such as dogs, boats, hearts, starts, etc. If you add special shapes like this, your noise maker can also be a game. Challenge your child to find specific shapes or colors by rolling the bottle around to reveal hidden treasures.
