Easy and Cute Crafts for Teens

Get busy with fun activities for teens. Plenty of easy crafts for teens to make, keep, gift, or resell for income. Many include supplies found in the home.

String Lights

This DIY project takes time but it’s pretty easy gifting your child the pride of the time they invested. The paper flowers are made from an upcyced egg carton but could easily be replaced with cardstock. Make sure your string lights are low temp!

Pencil Holder

This fun craft for teens is pretty bright but the splash of color could easily be adjusted to any themed bedroom for teens. Turn any old container into a fun, colorful pencil holder for your desk. Just cover it in pom-poms. You can use a bag of multi-color pom-poms, as done here, or use coordinating colors in groups of two or three colors. This is a great way to upcycle old jars, oatmeal canisters, etc. Just add a hot glue gun. | Sum of Their Stories

No-Sew Scrunchie

Scrunchies are back, baby, and it’s super easy to make your own using fun fabrics from the craft store or just upcycling old shirts and things. This tutorial goes through 3 different step-by-step tutorials to make scrunchies, and one of them is a no-sew option for those that do not have a sewing machine. | Sustain My Craft Habit

Bath Bomb

Make bath bombs with hidden jewelry inside! These would make a fun gift to give to a friend who needs some pampering. Bath bombs make the bathwater so pretty and colorful, and it smells amazing! Add a bit of creativity and use whatever essential oils you like. | Life Should Cost Less

Make a glitter phone case! Although the tutorial starts with a clear phone case, you can use this technique to revamp any old case that you’re tired of. Remember to brush on a clear acrylic sealer or nail polish to ensure that the glitter lasts a while. | Mod Podge Rocks

Flower Wreath

Decorate your door with a wooden letter wreath that’s customized to your style preferences! Use flowers if that’s your thing, but it’s so easy to do a different theme. If you’re into gaming, paint it with some of your favorite characters. If you like comic books, use pages from a comic book. LEGOs, glitter, sequins, metal thumbtacks, feathers, and pom-poms are just a handful of other materials you can cover the letters with. Go vintage and hit the thrift store looking for a bit of inspiration. | Thimble and Twig

Peg People

No one outgrows their Harry Potter obsession, so if the HP characters are still some of your favorites, making these Harry Potter peg dolls can be lots of fun. Add them to your shelves, or gift them to another fanatic. You could make any book or movie character and have fun becoming your own Etsy content creator. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Handstamped Blanket

Just be ready – the race will be on to see who can find the most clues either in a set amount of time or first to finish!

What makes this a fun scavenger hunt with a twist?

Typically scavenger hunts are reserved for at home or on a holiday like Easter or Valentines’ Day. What makes this an epically fun, unique scavenger hunt is the treasure hunt is set outside the home, often outside one’s own city or hometown. It’s a hotel scavenger hunt that makes a great activity for a resort, motel, conference center, hostel, or even a VRBO or Airbnb.

Family vacations and travel plans are so fun! While traveling in a plane or a car can be daunting and tiresome, that doesn’t mean that arriving at the hotel has to be a time to sleep. Use that travel energy and explore the room and layout of the hotel! This would be super fun for a family vacation, staycation, or even a birthday party with a hotel stay!

Some other fun ideas to use for this hotel scavenger hunt printable could be:

Everyone will have a blast with these fun clues. These scavenger hunt clues were created so that all ages can join in the fun! Even if someone isn’t old enough to read, they can still see the pictures and be on the lookout for those items. There are two pages of clues that range from items to find in a hotel, to shapes and colors to be on the lookout for.

See a sneak peek below of the printable scavenger hunt PDF so that you know exactly what it looks like!

Hotel scavenger hunt items include:

coffee pot
do not disturb sign
luggage cart
workout center
brochure
front desk
swimming pool
fire extinguisher

These are just a few of the items that the kids (and adults) can try to spot in the hotel! And who knows, you may end up finding even more fun items that you have to add to your own scavenger hunt list!

Make it Your Own!

Each user can make this scavenger hunt personal. Since we are all visiting different scavenger hunt locations and have various scavenger hunt participants, try some of these fun ideas to make the treasure hunt your own.

Hotel scavenger hunt ideas include…

Have a Fun Prize

Grab a few party favors or rewards for a special treat at the end of the hunt. A small prize can also act as a souvenir. Visiting Disney? Then grab a few princess party favors or mickey gifts off the internet before you travel. Hnad these items out to reward success at the end of the treasure hunt.

Count As You Go

Use the provided checklist for a hotel but allow the checklist items to add up. For example, did your team find multiple fire extinguishers? If they found 5, make that five points toward the scavenger hunt checklist total. The most points at the end of a set amount of time, wins.

Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt

Create a virtual scavenger hunt and split up but make sure each team has a smartphone. Instead of giving each player a hotel scavenger hunt list of items, allow them to use their smartphone for a hotel photo scavenger hunt

Play like this… “The first item is a pillow.” Each team has to race and take a picture of a pillow in a group text. This can be a pillow on the couch in the lobby or a pillow in the hotel room. In the same format, have the mediator text “the next item is a local map.” Each team will race to take a picture of a local map and text it to the group. The team that returns the first image to the group, wins that round. Continue on with fun items like

- room number
- fitness room
- red chair
- funny picture in the hallway
- vending machine item
- etc.

Use the scavenger hunt checklist of items to guide the moderator in this phone scavenger hunt game.

This game is so much fun for an older group of teens or young adults. Heck, even grannie and gramps will have a good time with this fast-paced fun game.

What are the rules for this resort treasure hunt?

Since a hotel treasure hunt is a public scavenger hunt, it’s essential to go over a few rules. Manors and teaming up are two of the most important scavenger hunt rules.

The indoor scavenger hunt rules are a combination of the hotel rules and your family rules. Make sure that the kids know that they shouldn’t be wandering around the hotel alone and to always be with an adult from their own family while looking for things. It’s important to also team up young kids and older kids.

Also, abide by the rules of the hotel that there is no running or disturbing the other guests! Have them take a pencil so that they can mark off the items as they find them!

Who is this Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt for?

Kids: This printable PDF is really for all ages. Make sure that the littles pair up with the big kids or adults – and have a blast. It’s a great way to burn off extra energy before a slower-paced activity.

Teens: Even the tweens will join in on the fun! Just be sure to remind them of that no-running rule – as teens can get pretty competitive!

Adults: Absolutely! Adults love good friendly competition and the ability to gloat the rest of the trip. It’s always fun to pair an adult up with one of the kids!

… so how well do you know your family?

Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges. The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time. Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Do You Know Your Family Printable

So why are the family challenge games your solution? Well if you’re tired of the same one-word answers from your child like “yes,” “no,” or “fine,” then these conversation cards might be your answer.

The printable family trivia game combines conversation starters and fun action challenges to create a memorable family game night. Tun family conversation starters into a game and use it as an opportunity to spark conversations with your child mixed with really silly challenges.

It’s the perfect game for the whole family and promises you’ll have a blast and laugh. It’s the easiest game to get to know your family. These cost you less than a Starbucks drink but they are priceless on the spectrum of amazing family memories created!

The “Do You Know Your Family?” game printable set includes…

104 Family Trivia Questions and Actions Cards

Ready for learning fun? Enjoy these cool hands-on math games for kids. Great for younger and older students, fitting all grade levels and areas of math.

$super fun math games$

Want to help your children or students love math? Ditch the worksheets for a while and play some fun math games instead. Kids of all ages can benefit from gamifying math concepts. Games help kids with strategic thinking and problem-solving. Not only that, but hands-on math games that allow kids to explore number concepts and combinations with manipulatives help them establish a deeper understanding of numbers and operations.

What are some Fun Math Games for Kids?

Kids’ games are just fun. Math games are a break in curriculum and instruction and allow kids to play without even realizing they learning. Often the hands-on math activity creates a deeper understanding of a math concept before transitioning to a new math unit.

A few fun math games to introduce into the classroom or even a family game night include…

These games are fun, but did you know you can make your own homemade math games? Additionally, online math games are fun, they add additional screen time which is not always desirable in the classroom. Let’s get the kids off an electronic device and back into hands-on learning with printable mathematics board games and puzzles.

$DIY homemade math games for kids$

$cute pete the cat activity for subtracting math$

Springtime is the season of flowers, and this game is sure to get kids excited for all the beautiful blooms they see. You can play the game with real or fake flowers, but the artificial flowers have sturdier stems that will stick in the playdough better. Roll the dice, and add that number of flowers to the pot. Easy peasy. You can practice subtracting, too. | Fun-a-Day

Play a game of leapfrog to improve addition or multiplication skills. This game is twice the fun because first, you’ll make origami frogs together before learning to make them “jump” to get to the lily pad numbers. | Teach Beside Me

$origami frog math game for older kids$

Practice geometry concepts with homemade dice made out of tissue boxes and duct tape. You can make this simple for little ones (like shape identification) or more complex for older children with questions that quiz them on things like right angles. Adapt the game for children in 3rd grade to 6th grade. | Look, We’re Learning

Do your 5th grade kids have a new skill? Turn into a fun game. Fractions and decimals can be challenging for some learners, but it’s easier to grasp when you make them fun. This fractions-to-decimals game is a great way to do just that. In this printable math board game, using dice to determine the number of spaces you go, the older kids will move around the gameboard, solving problems as they go. When children are first learning this process, you can use decimal grids or even calculators in the game to help them familiarize themselves with the equivalent numbers. This equivalent fractions game is also great for 4th grade or 6th grade.| Math Geek Mama

$fractions and decimals math board game printable$

This Base Ten Math Game is helpful kids ages 2 through 8, but it’s especially useful after kindergarten when kids start learning the concept of base 10 numbers. Plus, it’s a handy way to get more use out of those pool noodles in the garage. You’ll need two colors: one color will be used for all the 10s while another color will be used for the ones (this pool noodle will need to be cut into 10 equal segments). Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

$pool noodle math game for kids$

Work on multiplication math facts with a basketball-themed shoot and score game. You’ll match the problems to the products to help reinforce times tables. It’s definitely a lot more fun than doing multiplication worksheets. | Look, We’re Learning

Handprint Transportation Worksheets

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 7, 2023 by Ashley Langston Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

These Transportation Worksheets are perfect for creative fun and fine motor skills! The kids will love using their imagination and creating many fun vehicles with their hands! Let them have fun with the process and show off their skills!

Little kids LOVE all sorts of transportation vehicles. From buses to the ice cream truck, kids can spot them a mile away! These fun transportation worksheets for preschoolers are one that lets them be a part of the creative process from the beginning to the end!

These hand-print worksheets show them that art and imagination can come together in a really cool and unique way. There are great for a rainy day, or a fun way to let the kids build their artistic and creative confidence. In addition to fun handprint art, these means of transportation worksheets work on literacy skills. Help kids bring forth kinetic learning while working on writing and sounding out letters to create a vehicle word.

What are some fun ideas for using these transportation worksheets for kindergarteners?

The best part about this printable transportation pack is that you can use them however you want! The kids can start with one, and take a break, or work their way through them all!

In these cute transportation worksheets, there are modes of transportation that include tires, shifts, buckets, mega wheels, and more. Take a look at these different kinds of transportation that are included in the set.

Modes of Transportation:

Ambulance
Bulldozer
Cement Mixer
Dump Truck
Excavator
Fork Lift
Garbage Truck
Helicopter
Ice Cream Truck
Jeep
Kayak
Locomotive
Mail Truck
Newspaper Truck
Old Time Car
Police Car
Quad Bike
Race Car
Skid Steer
Taxi
Unicycle
Volkswagen
X-Country Vehicle
Yacht
Zamboni

Didn’t think we could get A to Z when it came to alphabet vehicles, did you???

I’m a huge fan of having fun options for any and all occasions! Some fun ideas to pair this with would be for a…

Sleepover Party
Classroom Activity
Birthday Party
Family Craft Night

Make sure to grab some paint, markers, and crayons for the kids so that they can decorate and color every page just like they imagine!

What are tips for using handprint worksheets?

Since not all handprints are the same, there are a few things to keep in mind. Talk to the kids and let them know that their handprints are not going to fit exactly into the handprint area, but that close enough is fine! That way, they won’t stress out about it and can move on with the rest of the activity.

You can also encourage them to think outside the box and trace their own handprints to recreate some of the transportation vehicles. This shows them that they’re capable of following directions and also using analytical thought to create something new and different, too.

While these A-Z transportation printables focus on quite a few options, it’s not a totally complete list. Have the kids use what they’ve learned and create another page about a vehicle that they haven’t done. They’ll love creative independence!

More Fun Activities for Early Learners

If you like this printable preschool transportation activity, I have more! The more that you can print out and have on hand, the more fun it will be for the kids!

Tips for Printing These Worksheets about Transportation

Make sure that once you print the worksheets, you take the time to laminate them. This is a great way to make this an activity that the kids can play with over and over again. Use markers that are erasable so that the kids can wipe the sheets clean and do these worksheets again!

Supplies

Transportation Worksheet PDF printables
Printer
Paper
Laminator (I really like the Scotch brand, but Amazon has a good one too.)
Tempera Paint (This set is best)
Paint brushes
Crayons/Markers

Instructions

Once you download the public transportation workers, it’s a simple and fun process!

First, get the worksheets. Download your Transportation Printable Worksheets

Once they’re printed, make sure that they are in alphabetical order, and start. You can leave it as easy as that, or make it more, too. The options are up to you!

Talk to the kids about the different vehicle on the page, and then have them either stamp their handprint in the handprint area or trace and color it in.

You can also paint small hands with a paintbrush and allow each child to stamp their hand on their artwork. Let the hand dry and then continue to color your transportation coloring page.

They do this for each of the printable pages and work their way through! It’s actually a catch-22 in that it’s a fun activity for kids but also a cute keepsake for grandparents or you!

FAQ Vehicle Transporation Worksheets

Can these be used for first grade too?

Yes, use for preschool all the way to emergent readers in kindergarten, first, and second grade.

Do these include lowercase letters?

No. The alphabet worksheet set uses all capital letters.

Can you use other mediums of art?

Absolutely, while tempera paint is best for creating handprint art, feel free to use playdough, dot marker paint, crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, and more. The options are endless. You can even make this a fun pom-pom activity.

Land, Air, and Water Transportation Worksheets

Family Sheet Pan Suppers Dinner Recipes

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 6, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media

Don’t let the busy weeknight get you down. These Family-friendly Sheet Pan Suppers are easy dinner recipes for individuals on the go! Download the printable sheet pan cheat sheet for sheet pan meal prep to make your own personalized supper diner recipes.

Family Sheet Pan Suppers

When the twins were born — my fourth and fifth children — my family and I ate Crock-Pot Dinners for an entire YEAR. I kid you not. Except for a select few meals and the occasional dinner out, my slow cooker became my best friend. It’s easy and efficient, especially when my hands are full with the kids. When I told my friend about my Crock-Pot addiction, she suggested an alternative: quick, delicious, and easy sheet pan dinners!

Why Sheet Pan Meals?

Imagine, your whole family is fed, you are all ready to wind down the night after dinner and you get to the sink to clean up… But you only have to clean one pan! Yep, these sheet pan recipes will feed a family of four or more and make cleanup a breeze. From sheet pan chicken and potatoes to sausage and veggies, there’s a sheet pan recipe for any ingredients you might have on hand.

How do you Make a Sheet Pan Meal?

Just pick your favorite protein, veggies, and flavors. Toss them together in a bowl, spread them out on your favorite sheet pan, and roast them at a high temperature. Before you know it, you’ll have an incredible dinner on the table!

Want to make sheet pan meal prep personalized and super easy. We have amazing sheet pan suppers below, however, if you want to create your very own Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe, follow this Sheet Pan Cheat Sheet. Download, print, and save it in your kitchen. It lists ingredients you can add to your one-pan recipe and then it changes the cooking time based on the protein, starch, and vegetable you chose to put on your sheet pan!

Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe Printable Cheat Sheet

Sheet Pan Meals Tips and Tricks

The first step to perfecting sheet pan suppers is getting a high-quality baking pan. I purchased a Commercial Grade Cooking Sheet over ten years ago and it is by far the best baking sheet I’ve ever used. It’s outlasted every single one of my old baking sheets. Go Commercial. It will last forever!
I don’t love doing dishes. Who does? Okay, I do if they go in the dishwasher. Parchment Paper and Aluminium Foil are a must-have for me when I’m making sheet pan suppers. Invest in your parchment paper and aluminum foil. If you are getting Parchment Paper Sheets (you can’t go wrong with 200 sheets), grab a larger size and cut down. If it’s too small for your pan, you end up cleaning anyways!
I’m absolutely obsessed with good kitchen tongs. The OXO Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads are THE best I’ve ever used. Plus, they lock into shape to make storage easy – no more getting stuck in your drawer!
Most sheet pan suppers call for Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This Evo Oil Sprayer Bottle is great for sheet pan meals — and tons of other recipes — because it’s refillable and you can control exactly how much olive oil you use. Mine is practically attached at the hip when I’m cooking!
Mix all your ingredients in a bowl before spreading them out on your sheet pan so your spices and flavors are evenly distributed. I love my nesting, non-stick stacking bowls because you can select the exact size you need for any recipe. They store easily AND they don’t slip and slide around on the counter. Win-win.

21 Easy Sheet Pan Family Dinner Recipes

Garlic Butter Baked Salmon

This one sheet Garlic Butter Baked Salmon {Diethood} is so good, we make it at LEAST three times a month. Both kids and adults love it. Bonus: it’s keto-friendly and is ready in just 30 minutes!

Classic Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak
