MacGyver Party!
Take things apart and make OTHER things Supplies:
Collect broken old VCRs, DVD players, TVs, anything with fun moving parts inside.
Screw Drivers of assorted sizes.
Wire cutters if you want.
Depending on the age of the kids, you may have to show them how to use some of the tools, but that's about it. My boys and their friends spent an hour and a half doing this until we dragged them away!
BTW ~ when having 5 boys in the house, make more than FIFTY pizza rolls or no one other than those boys will get any food:) I made pepperoni rolls with french bread dough, pepperoni & mozzerella cheese rolled up like cinnamon rolls/pinwheel sandwiches and baked them. Apparently, they were yummy:)
My hubby is helping them build their little speakers, after they were DRAGGED away from dismantling an old heater, VCR, DVD player... and some other things as well (Which they spent well over an HOUR doing ~ in this case boys ARE easier!!) and then, if the parents "ok" it, he's going to take them to his new custom home theater store and let them watch a movie on the big screen TV with "real" surround sound. Wow. Points for hubby:)
Kainan just LOVED his cake. I've gotten a half a dozen hugs for it already:)
My kids are so flipping blessed to have such an awesome dad!
