Instead, we decided to have a play date with a LEGO Friends theme, and I'm really excited to share some inspiration that will both save you money and guarantee a great time!

My daughter is really into LEGOs and spends hours playing and building! She just discovered LEGO Friends and couldn't be more excited. I love that LEGO has finally created sets encouraging girls to keep building! If your child is just as into LEGO Friends as mine is, or if you are planning a LEGO Friends party, this Free Printable LEGO Friends Bingo is so much fun to play and a quick way to get to know all the LEGO Friends characters!! 

Free Printable LEGO Friends Bingo at artsyfartsymama.com

LEGO Friends Bingo includes all of your favorite characters from LEGO Friends, as well as different color bricks and adorable pets!! In the bingo set, there are eight different bingo cards, so it's easy to print and use for your parties. It's fun for every age to play, and the calling cards include the names of the characters in case you don't know who they are.

(Set includes 8 bingo cards and calling pieces in a single PDF file)

I've gotten a lot of requests to make more than 8 bingo cards for larger groups that will be playing bingo. To help solve this problem without having to create a whole bunch of card designs, I've put together a version that will make it easy for everyone to customize their own bingo card:

Free Printable LEGO Friends Bingo at artsyfartsymama.com

Print out the Blank LEGO Friends Bingo Set, which comes with a blank card ("free" space already added), 24 bingo pieces, and the calling cards.

Cut the bingo pieces by following the lines. Glue the pieces wherever you want on the card with glue stick until all the spaces (except the "free" space) are covered. This would be a fun activity for older kids to do all on their own. Younger children will need some assistance with the cutting.

(Set includes one blank bingo card, bingo pieces, and calling pieces in a single PDF file)

Game Instructions
1. Grab some LEGOs or small candies to mark your squares.
2. Give each player a Bingo card and candies/markers (or put your own together with the blank set). Have each player put a marker over the free space.
3. Choose a calling card and say it out loud. Each player will cover that item on their card with a marker. Once a player has 5 squares covered in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), they call out "BINGO!" and win the game!

*You may NOT modify, re-sell, redistribute, or claim the design as your own.

To lengthen the life of the prints, I would recommend printing the bingo cards and calling pieces on cardstock and laminating. All files are 8.5x11 inches and put together in a single PDF format.

Have fun!! Would love to hear from you if you play using my printable!

Panda Valentine Card Box

Panda Valentine Card Box

Panda Valentine Card Box at artsyfartsymama.com

Valentine's Day is almost here, which means those kiddos need a fun Valentine card box to hold all those sweet notes from classmates! Last year, we had a lot of fun creating a unicorn Valentine card box. This year my daughter decided on making an adorably sparkly Panda Valentine Card Box to take to her Valentine party next week.

Panda Valentine Card Box at artsyfartsymama.com

Before you get to put your panda together, you'll need to do a little prep:

1. Choose your box. We used a corn dog box (from Costco) that measures about 9x10 inches, but any cardboard box you have will work.

2. Using a utility or Xacto knife, cut a rectangle in the top for kids to place valentines in. On the back side of the box, cut a flap so that the Valentines can be removed easily.

3. Grab some white butcher paper or tissue paper (we used about 5 sheets) and wrap the box like a gift. Using a thick paper or multiple sheets of tissue paper will cover up the box packaging and will give you the white backing for your panda!

4. With your fingers, find the rectangle in the top of the box and carefully cut an "X" corner to corner with the knife. Fold each triangle in and tape the paper in place inside the box. You can also add pieces of tape all around the box opening to be a bit more durable. Also cut along the lines of the flap in the back of the box and tape the paper in place all around the opening.

Now that the box is prepped, you can put your panda together!! Download the free Panda Cut File (personal use only please), and cut it out of black cardstock with your Cricut Explore machine. You'll also need some Aleene's Tacky Glue.

Don't have a cutter? No problem! You can totally cut out the panda face by hand or even paint it on!!

Once the panda pieces have been cut out, add some Aleene's Tacky Glue to the back and press them on the front of the box. After the glue has set (which won't take long), your panda is ready to to be filled with all those Valentines!!

If you are like us, you'll know that everything can always use a bit more sparkle! We sprayed our panda Valentine box with some glitter spray and sealer, then let it dry. You could also use some glitter Mod Podge which dries clear and adds a ton of sparkle. 

My daughter is SO excited to take this Panda Valentine Box to her class Valentine party and share such a sweet day with friends! I'd love to see pictures if you make a panda box for your children, so be sure to tag me on social media or feel free to post your pictures on my Facebook page!
