*Finish
making Little man and my nieces activity table present for the
holidays! - It should cost just around 10.00 each if I stay on track. - DONE! Love these, and here is the blog post about it.
* Finish aunt and uncle gifts! - If I stay on budget, it should cost me under 6.00 for all 11 of them! - Finished all but 3 of them because I can not find pictures I want to use.
*Upload at least 10 videos for expotv
this month and cash out for a $20.00 gift card (3000.00) points for the

Kids activity table - Handmade gift under $15.00
I could not be any more excited to share with you this post ! I have finished my 2 big Christmas projects for gifts and they were so much fun to make !
I made activity tables for my niece and son, with tons of supplies to make some more for gifts coming up for my other niece etc . since I used some items I already had ill put estimate costs, but this is seriously a cheap, nice gift .
The price breakdown is per table.
Ikea table 8.00
Chalkboard paint 80 cents
Stickers .25 .
Modge podge . I had . home made . came to under 5 cents.
'wood blocks'- I had . got 200 at a garage sale for $1.00, I used 25 blocks each table-
Sticky Foam .75 each total each table ....
Now, you do not have to follow what I used. I would have used legos instead of the faux wood blocks if I had enough - You can use anything you might have extra of.
Instructions go something like this.
step 1. Decide how you want to divide the table. I Did half chalkboard- So I sectioned it off after measuring Half the table. I painted half and I let it dry about an hour. Then I added a second coat. and after another hour, I took the painters tape off. I actually never realized I didnt use painters tape. So i had to use some black tape to "finish the ends"It looks just fine, and you can not really tell.
Next I added the stickers for the alphabet and the numbers. I modge podged over them. so they did not come off.
Next I Freehand drew the "road" - this was easier then I thought, and I cut it out- I added modge podge to the back of the adhesive of the foam paper and then stuck where I wanted. That baby is not going anywhere- On table two- its for a little girl so I didnt go with a track. I put shapes - On both of them I used puffy paint to 1.label the shapes and 2. put the names of the roads.
After that I had to decide what I wanted for the third part. I knew I wanted something like legos or blocks, but did not have enough and I didn't want to wait to finish it.
So I found some of the foam "wood" blocks and tacky glued. I placed glue on the table, the bottom of the "block" and the side- so each block is glued together. I did this two nights ago, and this morning I wanted to make sure they were sturdy-- they are. I literally lifted the table up by the glued blocks.
My husband and I are very excited about this table. For all the "writing" on the roads etc. I used puffy paint to give some dimension. This is a very easy project, and its totally personalized and customized. I can not wait to make more for my other niece in March!
Good Luck. Here are some pictures from my project.
