Sleepover Party CraftsSleepovers are always so much fun because you get to see all of your friends at once. You get to stay up late and play games. But sometimes sleepover parties are a time for kids to cause mischief and they do so because they are simply given a little too much free time. Here are some fun crafts that are great for sleepover parties that involve the fun of working as a group, but also creating something special that you get to take home. The kids will have fun making the projects but also will have fun knowing they have made a special memento.

Gaining a Childs TrustMy daughters and I went to the beach several weeks ago. They were having a blast playing in the freezing cold water as I tiptoed around the waves, trying to keep my feet from becoming frost bitten. Next to us in the water was a mother with her daughter who was no more than 18 months old. This woman was holding her frightened little girl hostage in the ocean as the bitter cold waves crashed into her and rushed back with a fierce undertow. The poor child was screaming and crying, begging to be rescued from the torture. Her mother thought this was amusing. She laughed at her babys fear and grinned at everyone around her. I was disgusted and horrified. I finally told the mother that I didnt find the situation at all funny. I have no idea if my words had any impact. By then, my own kids had finally remembered they had nerve endings and were shivering uncontrollably, begging for the warmth of their dry towels and warm sweatshirts. We left the waters edge and the sickening site of mother traumatizing baby.
Teaching Kids the Value of MoneyMy husband and I have a 12-year-old daughter who wanted to go to a winter retreat with her church youth group last year. Price of trip $45.

Another one is coming up this weekend." We both agreed that was a lot of money for us to spend for our daughter to have fun with her friends.
