I pulled out a couple old 6x6 pads of paper that featured pinks and reds, and we played with scissors while watching The Sound of Music. A very fun afternoon activity!
This twine "clothesline" hangs by our kitchen table, and I used it to display the kids' art projects when they were younger... now that they're in 3rd and 5th grade I don't get quite as many coming home from school, so it's kind of turned into the seasonal decor area. It's a fun (and inexpensive!) way to get the kids involved in decorating for the various holidays.
