Homemade Spelling Game

Monster's Mealtime

 

 

This little monster posting box was made from a cardboard soap powder box and some card. You can use counters or sweets to play a fun spelling game. The counters or sweets are food for the monster ,the child is given the same amount of words to try and spell. If they misspell a word they lose the sweet to the monster.

In my house it always works best with sweets May doesnt get sweets that often so its the best bribe!

Magic Tricks that cost very little.

Some Paper and a plastic cup.

May decided to be a Magician this Halloween, brill I thought no need for an expensive outfit but then I looked at the price of Magic Sets. Not happy at paying money for what looked like plastic rubbish, I went to work with my craft box.
