Airplane Bingo (or Tic-Tac-Toe)

Pin to Pinterest

This was us me. Traveling with three minors and praying I would have enough to do to distraction my littles. The anxiety in the trip was actually prior to the day of the flights. I was very high strung trying to figure out, no only what to pack for our trip, but what to pack for the actual day of travel. In an effort to help myself with travel, I came up with our post Airplane Activities for Kids. I do that sometimes. I research my own needs and end up putting something fun together for you guys. I consider it a service to us both – wink!

During my research, I saw a lot of ideas for toddlers but I also wanted an idea for kids of young elementary age. That is why I came up with this printable Airplane Bingo. There are a few ways to play – honestly mom, customize it to your family, but here were my ideas.

Play the boards as a Tic-Tac Toe. First to spot 3 items in a row/diagonal, wins!
Play the boards as a Bingo (filling in all 9 boxes). First to spot all 9 objects, wins!
Play the boards with the provided printable markers to mark or cover your spot.
Play the boards laminated and use a dry erase marker to x (or o) what you find! This is the laminator we have (and love!) There are cheaper laminator options.

How to Make Soundwave Art | DIY Father’s Day Gift Soundwave Art Generator

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

May 27, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Father's Day, Instagram, Parenting, Pinterest, Social Media

Follow this quick and easy tutorial for how to make soundwave art plus create an adorable DIY Father’s Day Gift idea – I love you Soundwave Art Generator craft for kids. The best father’s day gift yet!

Soundwave Art

We have been so blessed to have some of the most amazing preschool teachers! While I have loved every mother’s day (and father’s day gift) my children have created, this years gifts for parents have knocked some other’s out of the park.

For a preschool mother’s day gift, I got adorable photo holders made out of beads and a painted rock. For a preschool Father’s day craft, my husband got the most adorable I Love You Soundwave Art Craft.

How to make soundwave art

It is very easy to make your own soundwave art. I was surprised by how remarkably quick it was with no instruction.

First, open the voice recorder app on your cell phone. Record an I love you memo. If you are an educator (preschool or elementary school), save each file as the child’s name so you can easily identify who is who when creating your soundwave pattern.

How do I get soundwaves from a recording?

Once you have your personalized recording, you want to use a free soundwave art generator. How do you do sound wave art? I looked at a few soundwaves generators, but I found https://convert.ing-now.com to be incredibly easy and straight forward.

Soundwave Graphic Generator

1.) Visit the free soundwave art generator.

2.) Select the circle button, let’s go.

3.) Upload your sound recording.

4.) Choose your foreground color and wavelength size (I chose black and 1800 x 280.)

5.) Click the okay button to generator your soundwave art.

6.) Right click on the soundwave art image and download your I love you soundwave pattern.

I Love You Soundwave Art DIY

Once you’ve created your I love you sound wave art generator, it’s time for a fun father’s day preschool craft (or elementary and older kids too!)

How do you do sound wave art?

Supplies

I Love You Soundwave Art
Paint Supplies (we love Do A Dot Art! Marker Paints for younger kids)
Printer (or print at Staples)
Scissors
Cardstock
Laminator

Instructions

How do soundwave gifts work? Once you have your your personalized sound wave art, it’s time to print the pattern.

First follow the steps above to create a voice memo recording converted to a to sound wave file (png, jpeg, etc.)

Open Microsoft Word and rotate your new document to a landscape design.

Write the phrase “I love you” in the center of the document.

Paste below the phrase, your soundwave file.

Print on cardstock and cut into the shape of a heart.

Using markers or paint (we like Do A Dot Art! Marker Paints) allows your child to color the heart.

Allow the heart to dry.

Once the painted heart is dry, laminate your painted heart sound wave art DIY.

Gift to dad as a DIY Father’s Day craft to keep forever!

Can You Play Soundwave Art?

Do you want to take this a step further? In our memorial crafts for loved ones, I shared one way to play soundwave art. You would basically need a QR code to create soundwave art that plays. A QR code is a pixelated number of black squares and dots that form a square. When scanned with a camera app it opens a browser or browser that holds the sound recording.

Can you play soundwave art? Yes – create a soundwave with a QR code! For this process, you will either purchase a soundwave QR code or create your own URL to hold your recording. Once you have the URL with your sound recording, you can quickly create a QR code on QR-Tiger. If your voice memo is a MP3, you can also upload this on QR Tiger.

Our Pinterest community and I would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your sound wave art block or final DIY Father’s Day Soundwave Craft. Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!

Also visit our Memorial Craft Ideas post. Make memorial crafts or learn how to record the voicemail of al oved one and purchase soundwave art for deceased family or friends. Pin to Pinterest.

Father’s Day Crafts for Kids: Preschool, Elementary and More!

As a former teacher, it was always nice to play a role in the Father’s Day gift at the end of the year that my students would craft for their dads. Kids love getting the chance to play their part in the holiday that celebrates their parents and role models. It’s a fantastic way for children to show their dads that they love and appreciate everything they do for them!

I know first-hand that dads will love even the simplest token of appreciation from their little one! To make these Father’s Day preschool crafts and elementary crafts easy for teachers in school and for use at home, all of these activities only require budget-friendly supplies and are a breeze to put together.

From hand prints that will one day get larger, to a cute little face that will one day evolve, to a sweet little message that can be read over and over, every single one of these Father’s Day handmade cards, crafts, and activities are adorable and heartfelt. When I recall my own favorite gifts from my kids when Mother’s Day rolled around, it was always one of these cute pieces of art that they created with their own two hands. I can’t imagine any father would feel differently!

Below are some of the most perfect Father’s Day Kids’ Craft Ideas aged preschool to elementary school. Enjoy these crafts in the classroom or right at home, and Happy Father’s Day!

Date Night Bucket List

May 24, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Valentine's Day

Date Night Bucket List. Get organized with this full list of 25 unique date night ideas at home, out or even free date night ideas.

Okay, so honestly, a date night for me is in my PJs having all the kids down (and luckily my kids are on Babywise schedule, so that can be as early as 7:30 PM if we do the bedtime routine right!)

For my husband, however, a date night at home will not cut it. He has the desire to get out of the house. In his defense, we both put the computer down, eat a meal that isn’t prepared by us or warmed up in the microwave, and we go over many things we don’t get to discuss in the passing of day. You can see how we sometimes get around this with these free, cheap and memorable date night ideas (with a home full of kids.)

We have five kids, we both work well over 40 hours a week, and we both juggle a lot. We purposely have to carve out time and for us that is each Thursday evening. This is a night we put everything aside. Even though we have made it a point to do this weekly, it still find us in the same routine. We go to the same restaurant, over and over… until the Date Night Bucket List!

Care.com Date Night Babysitter

When we moved from Florida to DC, we didn’t now a soul. I lived in Florida for 30+ year and always swore I would never hire a stranger on a website to watch my kids. Don’t you find when you swear something into existence the most, it just does the opposite. (For example, I always said my child wouldn’t never have a paci – all five did, wink!) Anyhoo, the best thing that happened to our family was our Nanny from Care.com. If you need a nanny or a babysitter for date nights with your spouse, be sure to check out Care.com. We are very pleased. You can interview the person, get recommendations and even do background checks including driving records if your sitter plans to drive!

Date Night Bucket List

We have a list of Date Night Bucket List Ideas to extend the excitement of your nights out with your spouse. In fact, in our bucket list we have 25 ideas! This would give you half a year of date night ideas if you go out weekly. Some of the ideas can even be combined if you find yourself going out less frequently. Or flip the printable over and add your own ideas!

Included in our Date Night Bucket List are the following ideas…

Unique Date Night Ideas

Visit a Festival
Take a Road Trip (even if 30 mintues away)
Play Mini Golf
Go Dancing
Go Antiquing
Visit a Winery
Go See a Local Band
Visit the Planetarium
Go to the Arcade
Go Bowling
Go to a Paint Night
Go Ice Skating
Rent Your Dream Car and Go for a Ride
