A Puppet Theater

I have been wanting to make a puppet theater for a while now!

I am so glad I finally did it!

I just used a curtain rod and a curtain I had laying around.

I did just buy a curtain rod this morning that fits their closet door so the puppet theater is not clogging doorways anymore.

Like my puppets?

Most of them are those fun washclothes that fit like gloves and look like animals!

I have used them instead of puppets for a long time.

They wash really easily and are pretty tough to mess up.

I think it is a hit.

Monopoly Art

I found an old monopoly set at a garage sale for dirt cheap a long time ago.

Since I am in a simplifying(getting rid of junk) mood, I knew I needed to use it or toss it!

I made this from a thrift store picture frame, scrapbook paper, one railroad game card, and some of the little green houses.

I used the double sided stickers for scrapbooking to hold the card and houses in place.

I hung it in our schooling section in the living room.

I kind of love it!

I put these awesome game pieces that came with it on a shelf nearby.

Zoo Scavenger Hunt

After seeing this awesome Zoo Scavenger hunt on Pinterest, I knew I wanted to make my own!

Since my 5yr old is such a little reader, I wanted a little more of a challenge for him then just pictures.

I do know how to spell Meercats.

I am just too lazy to fix it now.

I will fix it for my son though!

So that is what I have been making this week.

Have you been making anything because you are cheap(thrifty) also?
