Challenge

Declutter Challenge: Throw out all dried kids textas

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife September 30, 2010November 21, 2015
written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife September 30, 2010November 21, 2015

I received a request that the challenge be something the kids can help with as they are home for the school holidays.  So today’s challenge is for the kids, or if you don’t have kids I have an alternative for you.

Multicolored Felt Tip Pens

I came up with the idea for this challenge as I was colouring in with the kids today and found they had quite a few dried up textas.  If one doesn’t work they return it to the tin, little minds don’t think to put it in the bin. 

THE CHALLENGE:

Test your coloured texta’s and throw away all that have dried up.  Follow the steps below to enter the challenge. 

ALTERNATIVE CHALLENGE:

Sort through your pen collection and throw away any that don’t work. Follow the steps below to enter the challenge.

Craft Turn Table

Kids love craft but they don’t always keep their stationary and craft tools tidy! Here is the solution! Store crayons, pencils, textas, and so much more! Painted wood turntable features a rotating upper disc. Mini buckets made from lacquered metal with little metal handles.

RANGE OF COLOURS AVAILABLE – AVAILABLE ONLINE HERE.

Instagram post 2196441464149896352_6128276 I absolutely love putting up the Christmas tree with the family! I don a silly Santa hat, crank the Christmas tunes, and we all dance around the lounge room whilst decorating the Christmas tree. Typically I go traditional colours for our Christmas tree, but last year I purchased a white tree and decorated it with pretty pastel colours. It looked pretty, but it didn’t have the same Christmas vibe, so this year I went back to our regular green red and gold decorations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What colours did you pick for your tree this year? 🎄
