Potato print paper - Make personalised giftwrap for christmas, birthdays or any occasion. You will need a roll of plain white paper (you could use the back of some old wallpaper), potatoes, and different colour plates of poster paint. Cut a potato in half, then carve out design you want. Remember the design will be the raised portion of cut-out. Stamp potato on ink pad then paper, and repeat till your child is happy with the pattern.
Secret Writing - Write secret messages using a toothpick or Q-tip dipped in lemon juice. Hold the paper over heat such as a light bulb or toaster to make the writing appear/alternatively iron over the paper with a cool iron for 3-4 seconds. - Its message magic!

Lets Get Guessing - This is a good party game that guests can play as they are arriving. Fill 4 or 5 jars with candy, nuts, raisins - anything edible counting the pieces as you put them in. Then let the children guess how many are in each jar. Whoever guesses closest wins the jar.

Jelly Bean Hunt - Assign a point value to each color of jelly bean. The higher value of course will go to the color with the fewest number of beans. Hide the beans in the party room. Actually they should all be in sight but placed on or near an object of like color so that they are camouflaged. Set a time limit at the end of which the player with the most points wins the game.
