Super Bowl DIY Banner

Pop over to Michaels to get a set of canvas fishtail banners! (And if you don’t have these, just cut green paper!)
Super Bowl Sandwich Stadium: The Making of
I truly never, ever thought that, in either my work or personal life, I would get to (or have to) make a stadium out of sandwiches. In fact, I think that before I was hired to do this, I had no idea that this was even a thing. But it is. Big time.
Last year, I was asked by an advertising agency to produce this insane Super Bowl buffet for a Skittles campaign pitch. The direction was to “Skitt-ify” the scene, which, if you’ve seen Skittles ads, you know that they are wack-a-do.
So if you’ve ever had a hankering to make a sandwich football stadium, just watch this over and over and over!

Paper Christmas Tree Craft
Using different-size circle punches, have the kids punch circles from different shades of green cardstock or scrapbook paper. Using a standard hole punch, have them make the “ornaments” from various bright colors of paper. Use glue stick to glue green circles together in a triangular shape (to resemble a Christmas tree). Glue small colored dots all over green circles as ornaments. Punch stars using a star punch for the tree topper; glue to the top of tree. Clip a clothespin to the bottom as the trunk.
