Waiting For Paint To Dry

The other day someone emailed me and asked me what we do while I'm waiting for the paint on my tp rolls to dry.  It kind of made me laugh because it seems like we do spend a lot of time waiting for the first part of our project to dry so we can move on.  A few months ago I found this great set of printables over on The Moffatt Girls Blog.  I'm usually not a fan of worksheets, but these are short and fun and involve reading, writing, cutting and gluing.  Typically while we're waiting for our paint to dry we'll do a worksheet, bake some cookies or muffins, run through some flash cards or just create something with our leftover supplies.  What do YOU do while you're waiting for paint to dry?

Summer Bingo

I'm going to let you know that this has nothing to do toilet paper rolls but since summer is here I want to share some of our summer plans with all my lovely readers.  This is the second summer that I am playing Summer Bingo with Cole.  If you're interested in learning more I've posted details about it over on the From the Fence Post blog.
Update: If you are interested in downloading the rules and a few card templates you can click here.

I use 5x7 sheets of cardstock to mount the bingo cards.  I hole punch them and put them on a ring so that we can keep them all together.  The picture you see is the cover of the set and then the rules card and finally the actual bingo cards.  Cole gets a new card every Sunday and he has a week to do the activities listed.  Every time he gets a bingo he gets a ticket which can be turned in for prizes.
