I shared on Facebook I was in need of a Train, LEGO, Puzzle, etc table. In my search, I ran into this amazing Upcycled Kidkraft Train (and LEGO) Table in the Amazon Comments.

Take a look at the KidKraft Lego Compatible 2 in 1 Activity Table reduced to $75.99 from $85.35. I love that this table can be flipped over and used as a LEGO or Train Table. This also come in Espresso for $105.

Details:

  • 200 LEGO-compatible blocks
  • 30-piece train set
  • Double-sided play board
  • Convenient storage under the play board
  • Large enough that multiple children can play at once
  • 200 LEGO®-compatible blocks and 30 piece train set
  • Double-sided play board and storage underneath
  • Large enough that multiple children can play at once
  • Sturdy construction

UPCYCLE IT!

You can see how the author (in the comments section) made the table distressed (I recommend Chalk Paint for that) and also added a Magnetic Knife Bar and Magnetic/Metal Mesh Bins. Also check out these Melissa & Doug Wooden Chairs if you children like to sit (though they won’t slide under the table.) I found these baskets pretty cool too!

I also am looking very closely at the KidKraft Wooden Train Table and 120-Piece Waterfall Mountain Train Set with 3 Bins.

DIY Valentine Series – Valentine’s Day Scratch-Off Tickets
Pin to Pinterest

In honor of Valentine’s Day I have created a printable for you and put together a quick and simple tutorial to surprise your sweetie or the kids with. These are fun homemade scratch off tickets that can be personalized for anyone, that makes them super fun and this one is for all ages. But I am throwing some ideas especially for the grown ups out there to enjoy. I don’ t think homemade Valentine’s have to be for kids only. For an adult you could write special messages – private messages, IOU’s for special treats or activities, or a promise of a date night. For kids you can fill theirs up with the a promise of a fun activity, 15 extra minutes to stay up, extra dessert, ice cream after school , or even just a simple I love you. Valentine’s and messages from the heart can mean so much , especially when they are made by your own hand. Print off a sheet of these and give it a try.

Supplies

  • Scratch-Off Printable
  • white card stock
  • acrylic paint
  • dish soap
  • white crayon
  • small paintbrush
  • ink pen
  • scissors or paper cutter
  • optional – glitter

scratch-off-step-by-step-tutorial-valentine-frugal-coupon-livingPin it to Pinterest

Directions

  1. Print Scratch-Off Card onto cardstock
  2. Use a pen to write a message on each heart- be creative!
  3. Color heart over completely with a thick coat of white crayon.
  4. Blow off excess crayon dust for a smooth surface.
  5. In a small bowl combine 1 part dish soap to 2 parts paint, stir well- if you are only making 1 or 2 then a couple teaspoons total is plenty of paint mixture.
  6. Paint over heart/white crayon completely with a thick coat of your mixture.
  7. If desired sprinkle paint with glitter while still wet.
  8. Allow to dry well.
  9. Brush off excess glitter.
  10. Present to your valentine with a coin for scratching out message.

DIY Valentine Shirt Using Permanent Maker

Pin to Pinterest

Make an adorable DIY Valentine Shirt using Permanent Marker! You won’t believe how easy this is to create! There are so many options with colors and patterns but, we think this double heart is perfect! Use a cookie cutter for the pattern and fabric markers to outline the shape in dots. As long as the kids have a steady hand, they can create their own personalized shirt. Have fun!

Supplies:

  • Plain White T-Shirt
  • Tulip fabric markers (red, hot pink, light pink, purple)
  • Heart cookie cutter
  • Cardboard

Directions:

  1. Lay your shirt flat.
  2. Place a piece of cardboard inside your shirt to prevent the marker from bleeding through.
  3. Place your cookie cutter on the front center of your white shirt.
  4. Hold your cookie cutter still with one hand, and begin dotting around the cookie cutter with your markers.
  5. You will want to color lots of dots directly around the cookie cutter and a lot less as you go further way from the cookie cutter.
  6. Switch colors and repeat steps 4-5 (do this 4 times).
  7. Let your shirt dry for 24 hours, and your shirt is ready to wear and wash as these fabric markers are permanent.
