Salt dough
1 cup of flour 1 cup of salt ½ cup of water mix, microwave the shaped dough in the microwave 20-30 second intervals until it is fairly firm

No Cost Games
Memory - Shoe box with lots of small objects like a key, coin, pen, cover box and set it in the center, remove the lid and give the kids 1 minute to look and then replace the lid and ask them to write down what they saw. This can be played for a theme party – see showers - not rain. The more items you use the harder it is. Be creative and use things from other games – a timer, cards, dice, and so on.

Balancing Act – index cards, write 10 objects that are small and unbreakable that you have around – ball, book, stuffed animal; 1 per card. Then write 1- body parts that are on the left / middle side do the same for the right / middle side – chin, stomach, knee, and shoulder
Players draw one from each pile. Than challenge to hold them for at least 3 seconds.
