Painting the T-shirt with Your Kids

If you are in need of craft ideas that you can make with your kids, consider using your kid's hands and feet to paint on the T-shirt. T-shirts are inexpensive and easy to decorate with paint. Painting T-shirts with kids is not only an activity that passes time, but also lets your kids create a design that they can call their own. By adding a thin coat of paint to your kid's hands and feet, you can have your child make footprints and handprints on t-shirt. Your kids can wear their custom T-shirts around the house and out to events once the paint is dry.

Here is the instructions of footprint designs:
1. Purchase fabric paint from your area craft or retail superstore.
2. Wash and dry the T-shirt to ensure it will not shrink once painted.
3. Place the T-shirts on three to four sheets of newspaper or plastic sheeting. 4. Pour the paint in a plastic container or paper plate and use a sponge to apply paint to your kids' feet.
5. Have your kids walk and jump on the T-shirts. Let them be creative and make borders or draw out a design with one toe.
6. Let your kids sign the T-shirts, using a small paintbrush once the design is finished.
7. Hang the shirts on a clothesline or drying rack to air dry.

Here is the instructions of handprint designs:
1. Purchase colored T-shirts and fabric paint in multiple colors including white. 2. Lay the shirts in a row on a newspaper or plastic sheeting-covered table or floor.
3. Let your kids start at one end of the table or floor and paint a scene from their favorite book, movie or computer game across the shirts with their fingers. Assign each kid a specific part of the scene to speed up the process.
4. Once finish the design and the T-shirts are dry, dress each of your kids in the shirts to see the complete scene.

Choose the right way to lose weight

Some women will try anything to squeeze into those skinny jeans, but the latest extreme slimming trend has nothing to do with cutting carbs or exercise, but rather, simply taking a step back in time and strapping on a corset.

The History of Halloween

Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

Keeping Kids Involved in Sports

In an effort to benefit millions of youth athletes, parents and coaches, this article is among a series created exclusively for partners in the Liberty Mutual Insurance Play Positive? program, powered by Positive Coaching Alliance.

The lifelong friends you’ve made. The coaches you will never forget. The fun you had with the teammates who taught you there is more to sports than wins and losses. These are just a few of the reasons why you wouldn’t trade your youth sports experiences for anything in the world. But will your children enjoy similar experiences?

Unfortunately, many children aren’t building memories such as these. Why?

Maybe the “win-at-all-costs” mentality that has become part of all levels of youth sports has taken much of the fun out of the game. Maybe the relentless pull of new technology creates fonder memories than they’re getting from fields of play. Whatever the reasons, we hope parents and continue to encourage their kids to continue their youth sports experiences.

Keeping kids involved in sports ensures that they at least have a chance to create those special sports memories and also contributes to their continued physical activity and all the benefits that come with it.

To help get you thinking about the ways to frame and discuss the many rewards of participating in sports to your kids, Liberty Mutual Insurance and Positive Coaching Alliance have outlined four of the central benefits of youth sports participation:

Fitness – Youth sports provide fun reasons for your kids to get off of the couch and get active.
Friendships – Teammates often become life-long best friends.
Wisdom – From learning how to overcome individual challenges to how to succeed on a team, youth sports is the platform from which many of life’s most valuable lessons are learned.
Focus – The mental preparation that it takes to succeed in youth sports provides the groundwork for success both in school and later in life.

At Liberty Mutual Insurance, we constantly look for ways to celebrate the countless acts of sportsmanship and integrity shown by people every day. We created Play Positive?, powered by Positive Coaching Alliance, as part of this belief to help ensure that our kids experience the best that sports have to offer in environments that promote and display good sportsmanship. We believe kids can learn valuable life lessons when coaches and parents come together to support winning on and off the field.

UC Irvine Students Smash the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Pillow Fight

Welcome week in the fall is the time of year when most new college students actively avoid getting hit in the face with objects of whatever variety to obviate the voltage for a moniker that will stay with them throughout their college career. This yr, however, students who had been accepted to the University of California, Irvine, said, "Bring it on."

As division of the university's welcome week activities, UC Irvine students, mostly freshman and transfers, joined together yesterday to attempt to smash the Guinness World Record for the world's largest pillow fight. An amazing 4,200 (sober?) students succeeded in snapping off the previous record — 3,813 people — held by Swedish DJ duo Dada Life, who instigated the pillow fight at a concert in Chicago.

Although just one specific rule had to be observed in order to clear the record — the battle had to remain for at least 60 seconds — apparently a portion goes into forming a world-record-breaking pillow fight. Granting to the Orange County Register, "It requires at least 100 volunteers and several turnstiles to count participants and an official Guinness adjudicator. Not to mention [portable restrooms], water, spare food, and a disc jockey to keep everyone jazzed while folks file in." During the event, the students wielding the bed linens against one another were serenaded by Ariana Grande singing.

UC Irvine currently holds the records for the world's largest water-pistol fight and largest dodge-ball game, which were both lay out during past welcome-week festivities. A fifth-year college student who had taken part in the event described how it felt to break the world pillow-fighting record with one word: "Awesome." The Irvine Anteaters, as they are recognized, officially start class today, and we hope all their seams are prepared. If you are interested in the custom t-shirts they wore, come to SNAPMADE.
