With right sides together, sew two bandannas around three sides. Next, turn this inside out, and stuff it with fiberfill. Fold in and pin the seam on the fourth side, and sew it closed. Now you have a cool bandanna pillow, and you can make lots more to sell.

Ask your friends to sit in a circle. The person who's 'It' will leave the room. Then hide something in the room, such as a small stuffed animal. When It comes back into the room, have everyone start singing a song together. When It gets closer to the object, sing louder. When she moves away from the object, sing softer.

My favorite snack is pretzels that I dip into a little honey. They taste so good together!

Have you heard about the restaurant on the moon? Great food, but no atmosphere!

For spelling words, my mom makes me write my words three times or until I get them right. Now I know how to spell really well!

I love to illustrate my own stories, so when I find interesting words in old magazines, I cut them out and save them in a small container. When I make an illustration, I like to add the cutout words to it for a bit of artistic flair. They're great to use for collages, too. Just be sure to ask a parent for permission before cutting out things from magazines.

If the family has a pet, find out what you need to do to take care of that pet. Do you need to let it outside? Feed it? Ask questions if you’re not sure.

Make a flower garden in your bedroom. Draw green grass at the bottom of a large piece of poster board. Purchase several fabric flowers from a craft store and cut off the petals. Draw stems and middles for your flowers, and then use a glue stick to attach the fabric petals to the drawn flowers. Let dry.
