How much are you spending on each kid this Christmas?
I added up what I’ve spent so far this season for my 4yr old and it came to $310. But there are a few things that she had to have to make everyone in the house happier like her art desk that will keep her supplies all together in her room.
I only have a few stocking stuffers to get.
Just curious as what the majority of people plan to spend…
TIA!
I think that Christmas should be centered mostly on JESUS- He is the reason for the season and family but I asked a question specifically on how much do you plan to spend on your kids. Surely, You have an idea of what you’ll spend.
Thanks to all of you that answered.
Well I have 4 Sons and i hope to be able to spend around $250 a piece but if i cant my 2 little ones will understand as long as they think Santa has came

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Collector’s Edition (DVD + Book) [Blu-ray]
$43.60
One of the brightest nuggets from Disney’s golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity.

Does anyone know how to make molds from objects with toilet paper?
I'm looking for a project art touch to do with my kindergarten class years 5. I've seen this before but I do not know if it's "doing" to measure for children age. I thought the manufacture of molds, bath toys for small or something that lends itself to a single mold. Also, after I made the mold as Can I discard? Plaster? Clay house? …
I've never heard of, but sounds fun, sorry.

What’s the best way to organize your resources for a paper?
I have this “researched” paper for english to write (6 page) and were supposed to answer a question we have about the industry of work we’re going into. Mine is media arts and I’m answering the question of whether the new age of 3D/CGI will ruin or improve films as a whole. I’ve printed out about 10 resources and I have yet to read them all but I’m looking for an efficient, and maybe virtual, way of organizing notes, being able to categorize, highlighting, and just be productive. The old method i used would be copy word for word from the resource on to a notecard, categorize my notecards by letters associated with a topic from the outline, then put those categorizes in some sort of chronological order, then write the paper. This method worked but i hate writing! Any one know of hopefully a digital way of doing this ?
Do you use Microsoft Outlook or a similar program that has Notes? Something much like your old method but easier and less time consuming would be to Copy and Paste content and links from your sources onto Notes. You’d have to type the dates and the ordering numbers, but you can color code them for categories and bold the highlighted bits.
I found a link to an index card database program you might want to check out. It is shareware, and they’re asking $10.00 for it. I don’t know anything about the program so can’t recommend it, but if you don’t like this one, there’s probably others.

wat kinda arts & crafts project can i make w/ a cardboard box, transparent plastic, sparkles, & colored paper?
im really bored, and i feel like an arts and crafts project. i dont really have a lot of supplies…i dont even kno what kind of box it will be and for what…lol
usually people answer these right away, but i still have none. how rude.
i kno its a stupid question, but u could say SOMETHING.
Try making a bulletin board:
http://www.dltk-kids.com/school/bulletin_board.htm
To make things for the board, the plastic could be used to write a list on with a magic marker. You could decorate it with the glitter. Or make a note pad with the coloured paper and use the clear plastic as the cover, and decorate that.
Or make a house with your box – cut windows and insert plastic in them. Use the coloured paper to cover the walls and roof to make the house look cuter.
Have a look at this page for heaps more ideas:
