Cheapie Challenge: Make-Your-Own Popcorn Containers
We decided we wanted popcorn for snack the other day when my nine-year-old niece came to visit us. On the spur of the moment, rather than grabbing bowls out of the cabinet, I thought I'd challenge them while they watched their movie and waited for their snack.
Frugal, but fun!

ReplyDeleteVery clever creations! It looks like they had a blast!
ReplyDeletethat is such a cute idea!! I love it!
ReplyDeletewill be storing it away for when my kids are older!
I really thought it would be too frustrating for my four-year-old, but he found his inspiration and figured it out without my help!
ReplyDeletecute idea, esp. to give them the challenge. Another idea I have seen is to give them coffee filters (!).
