What a cool idea! When DD was younger I used to plan one Saturday when I'd have several neighborhood/friends children in for the day. We'd make cookies and do crafts, have lunch and maybe a movie. I'd watch the kids all day so that their parents could go shopping without them. We always had such fun! I had a lot of the crafting pre-done so that they only had to assemble it. One year we made reindeer puppets from tube socks, pipecleaners, felt, google eyes and a red pompom; styrofoam cones were wrapped with small green garland and then they glued sparkly pom poms on for ornaments; I had stiffened doilies over styrofoam cones until they dried then removed the cones. We used the large chenille pipe cleaners for arms, a small round stiffened doily for wings, a wooden wheel and ball for the shoulders and head, glued on hair and used a gold pipe cleaner for a halo. It did absolutely nothing to alleviate my stress but I enjoyed it.
