I used it for hiding the special prizes that attendees can earn during our monthly group. When I got home I set it on the table in my craft room with no real second thought about it. Later I heard my daughters 2 and 4 giggling and whispering in my craft room. As I approached the door with a sense of Mom dread, I hear my 4 year old say "I WIN, I found a match", when I entered in the room they were sitting at the table with several of the flowers removed, and set very carefully to the side (The flowers you see were attached to the tin by magnets. The 4 year old was showing a pair of matching numbers I had been using for the special prizes. Which started me thinking, how else I could use this Tin Display to encourage and motivate the Grissman family.
Here were just a few ideas I have come up with:
1) A Chore List: each person could pick one circle and be responsible for that chore each day/week. You could replace the flowers with little dishes, pails or baskets.
2) Where is "Copyright Named Person Here" (Hint he has big glasses and a red and white striped shirt) you could also pick any of the great image we have on our Bundled Buddies Stamp set for a holiday game of hide and seek.
3) Word Skill Game: Place letters, numbers, shapes, colors, or words on the circle and cover with a matching cut out. Could be good for learning a foreign language.
4) A Prize Chart: Great way to monitor progress for little ones who need motivation to achieve goals like potty training or big kids who need a small prompt to pick up their bathroom each day.
I could list many more but thought I would see if you have any ideas to share. Feel free to post a suggestion or two in the comments section.
