Peep Microwave War Games

Marshmallow Peeps come out in the stores at every holiday. Right now you’ll find reindeer and snowmen peeps. If you cant find Peeps – use marshmallows – just as good.

You’ll need:peep

  • peeps
  • toothpicks
  • plate
  • microwave
  • friend (enemy) !!

Both players stick toothpicks into your peeps as in photo and place facing each other on plate. Microwave. See which peep has more damage= loser.

Alternate Advanced Version:

You’ll need:

  • Peeps in 2 different colors
  • World Map
  • Microwave
  • Friend (or enemy)

Cut out a segment of map to fit in your microwave, ensuring the segment has a country border. You and a friend each get one color of peeps to represent a country on the map. These will be your troops as your countries go to war. You are allowed X peeps to arrange as you see fit on your side of the border. Microwave the map&peeps. Your marshmallow military will expand and (hopefully) invade the other country. Whoever has gained the most of their opponent’s territory wins.

Clay Owl Ornament

This is one of the crafts we made at our get-together yesterday. It was super easy. I picked up a pack of assorted colors of clay, enough for everyone to have a good choice. I printed out the tutorial HERE. The only change we made was to add a small wire hook at the top for hanging. After the ornaments were all baked, I coated all of them with a glossy top coat (made for polymer clay). It was so easy and everyone was happy with the outcome.

Personalized Soap Dispenser Gift

Use it for teachers, use it for kids, i don’t care – just use it, this is so awesome! Here’s what designmom did:

“-I bought the soap at Target… on sale for $1 per bottle.
-We removed the labels with “Goo Gone”.
-I created the new label template using my kids’ personal silhouettes, but you could also have each child draw a little picture with pencil in that space and trace it with black marker.
-Take your print to a copy shop and have them print it on transparency. Mine was $1 per sheet that included 8 labels.
-Next, cut the squares — cut INSIDE the black guide lines of each label so you don’t see the edges of the transparency in the soap.
-Open the soap, slightly roll the square and put it in. Use the tube of the spout to guide it into place.
-Screw the top back on and it’s done.”
