Toy Story Party Printable – Print these easy Buzz Lightyear straw toppers and create a tasty sherbert grape punch at your next Toy Story celebration!

Toy Story Party Printable – Buzz Lightyear Float

Anyone ready for Toy Story 4? It’s hard to believe the original Toy Story was released in November 1995. I was in 8th grade and I seriously would have thought it was a movie that was released closer to the ages of my kids! I think the fact that it still holds love by so many, just goes to show it’s a classic that will be around for a long time.

Last Halloween, our family was the cast of Toy Story. It all started out with the Woody and Buzz Lightyear pajamas that I got the twins. Then we all created a costume around the twins first Halloween.

I love doing themed things when it comes to the twins and the best friends of Woody and Buzz, fit perfectly. In order to dream about a future celebration for our Woody and Buzz, we created some Toy Story printables for your next party Toy Story Party including the straw toppers and sherbet grape punch recipe.

Punch Directions:

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

November 4, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, The Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Keep the Neighborhood holiday tradition with a You’ve Been Boo-ed Christmas Tradition. Spread Christmas cheer with this You’ve Been Elfed and We’ve Been Elfed Printable Set. Makes the perfect Elf on the Shelf idea for friends! Gift with or without a Scout Elf doll.

You’ve Been Elfed Printable

Well this Elf idea strays from the traditional Elf on the Shelf Ideas. Try something different by incorporating the Christmas spirt into your neighborhood with this You’ve Been Elfed Free Printable. It’s the you’ve been booed Christmas version with the magic of a North Pole helper.

See You’ve Been Boo-ed Halloween Version.

What is You’ve Been Elfed?

You’ve Been Elfed (also known as You’ve been Jingled) is a twist on the Holiday tradition of You’ve Been Booed. Consider it the Christmas version of the Halloween boo game. Is a great way to spread Christmas Cheer in the neighborhood during the holiday season. Each participant’s home will get a small basket of treats on the doorstep as the game spreads.

You’ve Been Elf-ed is often done in a neighborhood or office with co-workers. For the neighborhood, drop off a small gift at a neighbor’s door step and in the process ring the doorbell and run. Don’t worry, this ding dong ditch will keep you off the naughty list, as you are playing the role of a holiday fairy. Just like a secret Santa, leave behind a lovely gift on the step.

In this fun game, a neighborly holiday tradition is formed and the process continues. Then the gift receiver then becomes the gift giver. They hang the Elf sign “we’ve been elfed” on their front door, the ring the door bell of another neighbor leaving behind a fun surprise of holiday treats. The fun Christmas Neighborhood Tradition is played down the street creating happy holidays for everyone.

You’ve Been Elfed Instructions

You’ve Been Elfed directions are simple.

Santa’s Elf has come to town
to leave some goodies, you now have found.

Your mission is to spread Christmas cheer,
to friends and family far and near.

Fill a container full of treats and fun,
drop it on the porch and run.

Post this Christmas sign on your door,
to show others an elf has been there before.

Another Christmas tradition has begun,
Thanks for sharing this holiday fun.

Merry Christmas & Happy Elf-ing!

The Elf poem explains the Christmas game. Put together a small holiday gift box or bag and drop it on a neighbors porch. Ring the bell and run. You can leave behind a “We’ve been elfed” sign for your neighbor to hang on their door or the “you’ve been elfed” printable has a URL link to print their own You’ve & We’ve Been Elfed signs. Hanging a “we’ve been elfed sign” alerts a future secrete Santa to not leave a small Christmas gift at that home.

Note: For the sake of sharing the spirit of getting Elf-ed, we photographed with our Elf on the Shelf Doll. You do not need a Scout Elf to Elf a neighbor or friend. This Elf on the Shelf Poem is simply for sharing the Elf on the Shelf Tradition with other families (without using the Scout Elf doll.)

What to Put in a You’ve Been Elfed Bag

Wondering what to put inside a You’ve Been Elfed gift bag? Make it merry and bright but keep your Christmas gift basket simple for your recipient. This is about staying frugal and low-cost while spreading holiday cheer.

Gift Christmas Candy, make Christmas Cookies, make an Edible Christmas Gift, share a Christmas Book, heck use leftover Halloween candy for all we care. You can even visit the Dollar Tree, Walmart or the Target dollar section.

Just show some Christmas cheer by participating in this Christmas tradition and getting the whole neighborhood involved.

Explore the best hiking locations that should be on your bucket list of beautiful places and a hiking journal to keep track of your hiking experiences.

If you love the great outdoors and all things related to hiking, this blog post will be perfect for you! We’ll talk about the best hiking locations that should be on your bucket list of beautiful places to explore and we will share a hiking journal for you to keep track of your hiking experiences. Plus, we’ll explore some different types of hikes we think you’ll enjoy.

Different types of hiking

Hiking for enjoyment and recreation: this type of hiking is just about getting outside and having fun. You can look up hikes that are close by, plan a day hike or even find some trails with more challenging ascents to get your heart rate going!
Day Hikes: these types of hikes usually take place in the morning or afternoon so you can enjoy them before it gets dark out. Day hikes include short distances such as a few miles round trip.
Multi-day trips: these types of adventures might require camping gear and planning ahead but they’re worth it if you have time off work! These could be planned on any length of time–a weekend long adventure all the way to an extended vacation. Multi-day trips usually include more difficult ascents and descents as well.
Weekend adventures: these are day hikes that last for a few days, including Friday through Sunday. They’re perfect if you don’t have much time off work but still want to explore! Weekend adventures could also be planned on any amount of time–from one night to even four nights (Friday-Monday).
Camping: this is when you set up a place outside your home where you’ll stay for the evening or weekend and enjoy nature all around you. Camping includes setting up camp with tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment and other things related to living outdoors away from your own home. You might need gear like hiking boots, backpacks, food storage containers or even a portable stove.

As you can see, there are many different types of hiking adventures that anyone could enjoy! Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just getting started with the sport, we hope this blog post will help inspire your next adventure out into nature!

Road Trip Scavenger Hunt

October 29, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Games, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Travel

Erase cries of “I’m bored” with a list of Kid’s Road Trip Games for the Car. You can download this free printable Road Trip Scavenger Hunt to keep the kids busy until you reach your final destination. Honk if this makes you happy!

Road Trip Scavenger Hunt

Keeping the kids busy in the car is a lot easier than when we were growing up, no? Between game systems, tablets, e-readers, audio books and movies, it’s easier to get fewer and fewer complaints of “I’m bored!” Of course, when it is uttered, we all have a long story of “Let me tell you what it means to be bored. When I was growing up….”

While your kids might have plenty of resources for staying distracted in the car, we wanted to provide you with some newer ideas to keep their minds fresh, to keep family engaged, and to just go back to some of the original “old school” resources of a paper and pencil.

Road Trip Games for the Car

Before embarking on a road trip (Or any travel for that matter), I try to pick up at least one or two new items. This often includes road trip games. Having something that is new 1.) buys time learning the game 2.) kills time enjoying the game 3.) and often gets reused because it was … well, enjoyable.

Take a look at these Road Trip Games for Kids.

How to Play Road Trip Scavenger Hunt

We created a collection of Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids, but one thing that was missing was a Road Trip Scavenger Hunt. Take a look at this printable game as well as Road Trip Games in the car for the kids.

Our road trip scavenger hunt is general enough, it can be played on most any adventure. You can make the game your own identifying your family’s rules and directions or follow these directions for how to a play road trip scavenger hunt.

Directions

Each player gets their own printable game board. Set the game for a certain amount of time (30 minutes, one hour, the entire trip.) As you travel down the road, check off items you see on your journey. You must identify the object out loud before checking it off. Once that object has been identified by the first player, the same object cannot be used to check off another players box. They will need to find that same object in another place. For example, if player A finds a deer they announce “deer” and check it off on their scavenger hunt printable. All other players must wait to find another deer before they can check it off. The first person to check off all their scavenger hunt boxes wins or the person with the most checks at the end of the time limit, is the winner.

How to Preserve Your Road Trip Printable

I suggest you laminate your printable. This will allow you to check the boxes with a dry erase marker and then wipe off with a wet paper towel to reuse. It also will keep the printable in the car sturdy and keep it form getting dirty or wrinkled.

I have had my Scotch Thermal Laminator for 12 years and it still is going strong. I suggest this brand though there are many other great laminators on Amazon.

Rainbow Scavenger Hunt to Teach Toddlers Their Colors

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

October 29, 2021 by administrator Filed Under: Facebook, Games, Instagram, Kids, Parenting, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

This rainbow scavenger hunt will help you toddlers learn to identify colors and keep them entertained! Download many free scavenger hunt ideas for kids, preschoolers, and more.

Recognizing colors is an important skill that kids can learn as early as 2 or 3 years old. It’s typically one of the first things parents teach their children, along with shapes and letters. Colors will be taught in preschool and kindergarten, but you can start exposing your child to the names of colors long before they head off to class.

One of the easiest ways to help your children identify colors and know color names is by pointing them out in their environment. When you go to the park, mention how green the grass is, or how white the puffy clouds are in the sky. Point out a blue or red car. If you take your child grocery shopping, they can find a number of different colors just within the produce aisle.

Learning opportunities are really all around us every single day!

Rainbow Scavenger Hunt – Teaching Toddlers Their Colors

A great indoor scavenger hunt that we have put together involves finding the colors of the rainbow inside your home. This is the perfect activity for a rainy day when it’s too miserable to play outside. You will still want to entertain your toddler, and with this free printable scavenger hunt, they learn while having fun!

Print the scavenger hunt when you are ready to play with your toddler. You can leave it as a full sheet or cut it up into cards to make them smaller for your little one’s hands. Read and follow the directions on each card to have your child roaming around the house looking for colors!

The following instructions are on this free rainbow scavenger hunt:

Find something in your bedroom that is red
Something in the toy box that is orange
Find something in the kitchen that is yellow
Something outside that is green
Find something in your closet that is blue
Something on a shelf that is purple
Find something in a drawer that is pink
Something on the floor that is brown
Find something in the living room that is black
Something in the bathroom that is white

Making this Scavenger Hunt Printable More Fun

Each time you play this game with your toddler, encourage them to find new things that are the color you are looking for. You can also mix it up, such as finding something in the toy box that is blue and something in the closet that’s orange. This keeps the game fresh so they are always learning new places to find their colors.

The more exposure you give them to color names, the faster they will catch on!

It won’t be long before your little one will be able to tell you the colors of things: balls, cars, food, etc. And if you ever want to give rewards, try giving them an M&M of the right color once they find it in the game!
