	small paper plate hole punch markers yarn brads construction paper

Take a black marker and write the directional letters "N", "S", "W", and "E" on the top, bottom, left and right of the plate. Have the child make colorful designs with markers on the plate. Cut out an arrow from card stock paper and color it red. Then poke a hole in the center of the plate and the edge of the arrow. Put the brad through the two holes - securing the arrow to the center of the plate. Next, take the plate and punch two holes at the top, then tie the string so that they can wear it around their neck, or hang it to display.

Bus Stop Backpack Game This is a great idea to keep children busy during down times (bus stop, bus duty, bus ride home, etc.). -Find a plain, flat spot on the backpack and create a tic-tac-toe board using velcro and any inexpensive plastic toy pieces (or make your own game pieces from craft foam). Draw the tic-tac-toe board on the backpack with a permanent marker. Then, attach velcro in each square of the board. Last, attach the other side of velcro to each game piece and put them on the board. Make sure you have five of each game piece. The game pieces can be nicely stored in one of the outside pockets of the backpack.
