DIY Personalized Cups

So talk about a quick easy and CHEAP way to entertain your children! Its summer and of course like millions of parents out there I constantly try and find ways to keep the youngsters busy and moving (especially since its hot in Texas and easy for them to resort to laying around in the AC in front of the t.v). Today's quick cheap projects was these nifty cheap DIY cups. After running a few midday errands and being frustrated that 2 out of 3 children found a way to once again forget or flat out loose their cups I figured why not let them decorate their own cups! I ran to the Dollar Tree and found three cute non spill cups and bought 2 booklets on foam letter stickers! All together I spent 5 bucks plus tax!!!! As we walked into the house and the daily "I'm thirsty" immediately hit I passed out the three cups and sticker book and instructed them to use the stickers to spell their name on their cups! Boy were they all for it! They got to practice spelling their name and use their own personal creativity! best part of this whole set up.......NOT ONE HAS LOST THEIR CUPS SINCE! This was defiantly a quick easy WIN for me, plus i'm sure it will save me some $ in the long run considering as long as they keep up with their cups I am not buying new ones left and right!
