Play-doh = $0.50 each
2 Dinosaurs = $0.30 for the two of them
Misc. items: tissue paper, ribbon, construction paper = $0.50 each child
Total cost for one child = $1.30 or for all 12 children = $15.60
The tissue paper was used to create little gift bags, the construction paper was used to make red hearts for the tags and the ribbon was used to tie it all together. Not bad!
Thank you to everyone for your help!!! For those that emailed and called, I remembered to mention that this month is Dinosaur month at his school. For everyone else, that is why I have dinosaurs in the gifts. GRIN.
Now about those Sugar cookies… I should never try to bake something for the first time with the help of a 2 year old. My cookies ended up being about ½ to ¾ inch in height BEFORE baking. He was much better at cutting the heart shape cookies out when they were thicker. They did not bake up very well though. Too doughy tasting. But Nestle has these wonderful premade cookie dough Sugar cookies. Worked like a charm.
Here is a picture of everything (minus a few cookies still being baked): click picture to enlarge it
Thanks again to everyone! Lee Ann, Jennifer, Tammi, (Prochein) Amy, Harvey and Bou. Also to Patti, Mom and a few others.
