Fun, Football and Family and a Tutorial

After the holidays are all over and packed away for another year the remaining winter can be daunting for some. 


One of our fun family activities is watching weekend football games. 

I have gathered up some of my creative ideas to celebrate the games in style.  Fun for everyone and won't break the bank!  Many of these decorations I use year after year. 

The ideas are not team specific but you can always cater to your own team colors to make it fun. 


You can find my tutorial on how to make these easy chains - GET THE KIDS INVOLVED - over at Catch My Party. 



Making signs using heavy cardstock (reusable for years to come)...some themed cookies and a goalpost made with fringed paper. Easy and affordable decorations.



I used a hula skirt and some sticky numbers to make the "turf" hanging decoration...the middle picture is from the children's table complete with some Football BINGO and coloring pages....tissue paper fringe adorns the fireplace mantel coupled with a few printables. 


These Oreo Cakester pops were so easy to make for the kids - BIG SCORE

Setting up an easy grab and go station for the children is a must. Complete with juice boxes, some sweets and popcorn. 

For more ideas for your family football fun, I invite you to check out two of my Pinterest boards:

You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
