My boys love to use hangers as bows and pretend they are shooting invisible arrows at whatever they are hunting or being chased by. I decided while watching them play that I'd make them "real" lethal weapons to play with!! Then I had a vision of Fat Amy saying, "Mmmm, better not." Then I decided to make them "play" bow and arrows. ;)

Here's what you'll need

1. Old plastic hanger

2. Hand Saw/Or bread knife if you're okay with that

3. Colored Duct Tape

4. Empty Toilet Paper Roll

5. Scissors

6. String

7. Mad Taping Skills

Alrighty. First you're going to cut your hanger in three areas as shown in this image. Set aside the bottom part of the hanger. It will be your arrow later on.

Next, take your empty toilet paper roll and cut a straight line down it's center as shown. Wrap the roll around the center of the upper part of the hanger in the middle. This will be the hand grip. Take your  duct tape and use it to cover and attach your roll as shown.

I took a piece of duct tape and folded it to make a pointed arrow piece that I then attached to the end of the bottom piece of the hanger.

The last thing I did was tie the string onto my bow and tape the pieces in place.

And BAM!!! EASY Bow and Arrow in less than 15 minutes for the kiddos to use for hours of fun!

You can make campfire s'mores without going camping, having a campfire, or even a firepit!
Here's what you'll need:

1. Deep baking pans (Size depends on preference. You could even use bread pans if that's all you have)

2. Foil

3. Coals/Wood or Both

4. Old tiles/Bricks

5. S'more essentials :)

Lay down your tiles, rocks, or bricks so that they are flat and stable. This is to provide heat protection between your pans and the surface you're using. I put mine on the grass but you might prefer your cement patio. Next, cover your pans in foil. Then, put coals, wood, or both in your pans. I did both to show two different examples of what could work.

Here's a picture from the side to give you a better idea of how it looked put together. Despite how the picture makes them look, they are extremely stable. I have my tile slabs and bricks placed in such a way that there would be no wiggling or danger of tipping at all.



Use extreme caution when starting your fires. Make sure children have constant supervision around your pans. I might even go as far as putting a rock border around your pans so that they know how far away they should be. Safety first!

Here's what mine looked like after setting up and in use. So easy and the s'mores were delicious!!!
