Doll Dragon helped me set up the photo booth the day before our planned shoot. I informed both of the dragons about the shoot, what it was, what we would be doing, and my expectations from them a few days prior. I told them we were going to have fun and be goofy together and take pictures of us while playing around. I think this helped their overall attitudes of the shoot the day off.

I covered a decent part of the wall with the streamers to make sure we had plenty of space.
I used the flower petals and some glitter hearts on the floor to make it a bit more festive. I also didn't want it to look like we took the pictures at home. I could have put a red blanket down but I thought it would be too much red and it would have driven me nuts if I had a wrinkled blanket from kids walking on it in my photos.

I used the chair to give the booth a bit more background and levels. I didn't want the photos to be bland. It also worked as a great prop.

Doll Dragon had to test out the photo booth once it was done

Then it was time. The photo booth shoot was here! The dragons got dressed up nice we turned on some fun music and snapped away!

We did some goofy

Some fun

And some tender moments

Of course we also did solos!

The Dragons had great attitudes and asked to do it again when we were done. Both of them have enjoyed looking through the finished photos too.

This booth gave us memories that will last many years!

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used: Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate. While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks. Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces. Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom. They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly. I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint. The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into. Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad. Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting! The squirting went on and on. I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue. Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them. With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used: Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets. I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back. I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too. Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet. One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
