I really like the idea of painting our own T-shirts. i might have to look into that one further.

It's tons of fun! And the kids are so proud to wear shirts they colored themselves :-)

I love these ideas. Many are very unique and I'll never guess how you came up with them. Anyway, I loved your ideas so much I made a list for them at ListAferList.com. If you have any other ideas worth listing, this site seems to be the place to do it. Check it out: http://listafterlist.com/ListResults/tabid/57/ListID/7015/Default.aspx
