I had an idea for the lacing cards. I haven't been able to find clip art of disney images that are large enough with color so I thought I would take coloring pages and turn them into lacing cards. Now you have two things in one to keep them busy. First they have to color it...then they can lace it...and even better you save on color ink. That should keep them busy for 5 minutes!

These should also fit on 8.5x5.5 paper. In case you don't know what to do with these...trim them on the outside or inside of the black line (your choice) making sure to leave a large white border outside of the picture. Then use your hole punch to punch holes along the white border (see post#57 if you need a visual on punching the holes). Buy fun color shoe strings (or use yarn with tape wrapped around the ends) and have your child color and lace the picture.

Thanks spectromouse for a GREAT idea!!! Keep them coming and I will do my best to make more.

Dolly-

The threading cards look great! I know Lighting McQueen will be a big hit! What a great idea to use coloring pages!

jtanddolly · 07-07-2009, 07:55 AM

Here is a new thread that has the cutest paper dolls with Disney outfits. I thought it would be a great addition to this thread! I will see if the DISigner will add them.

No need to link to the thread. Just keep reading through this one...Milliepie was kind enough to put them on this thread as well. Yeah!!! Thanks Milliepie!!!

THANK YOU DOLLY!! I am always looking for activities for my girls that don't have a lot of parts - less to pickup

Our girls just started doing the lacing thing and really enjoy it. I have some cute punches in my scrapboook supplies. This is something they can even do in a restaurant - a quite activity!!

Dolly, I LOVE that you put always include the measurements. It has rained the whole month of June and looks like we are getting more rain today. Even the weatherman is wondering if we should build an ark!

Thanks again Dolly, looks like we will be using these today.

Thanks so much for your note. I will work on some princess ones when I'm back home from my current trip. Be looking for Milliepie's paper dolls...she is going to post them later today on this thread. Yeah!!!

milliepie · 07-07-2009, 09:55 PM

Hi there! I finally have some free time and as promised here are the paper dolls. These are meant to be printed or made with magenetic paper so you don't have to worry about the tabs. You can pretty much print them any size you would like them to be. I'm going to make some more gender neutral clothes as well so I'll post them here when they are done.

Thank you Dolly and thank you SpectroMouse for the great idea and getting me started!

SpectroMouse · 07-08-2009, 12:18 AM

Milliepie-

Glad you made it over here! I was planning on posting a link to the other thread here, but had not gotten around to it yet!

Between Milliepie and Dolly - I may need to change my travel plans and go for the drive instead of flying

dreaming-of-disney · 07-08-2009, 09:49 AM

Do you think the paperdolls can be used as window clings?

pixiemomof3 · 07-08-2009, 08:48 PM

WOW , What an awesome thread. Dolly where do all these ideas come from ?!!

Wow You have listed so much useful stuff . We are not going to Disney until next year but I am already making lists and saving the games and stuff you posted . The laminating idea with the markers is great ! I can't wait to hear what other ideas are brewing up in here !

pixiemomof3 · 07-08-2009, 08:50 PM

I don't see why they couldn't?? That is a great idea!

pixiemomof3 · 07-08-2009, 08:52 PM

what kind of paper would you use for the window clings ? magnetic or Is there another special type ?

dreaming-of-disney · 07-09-2009, 10:13 AM

I haven't made any yet. But, I have seen some window clings at Office Depot in the section with the transfers and magnets. My daughter loves to play with the holiday window clings and can use them to play with and decorate the van on the way down there.

Hello Milliepie,
Do you have these in African American? My DD loves these and I found the magnetic sheets at the dollar tree.
