10 Thrifty Ideas for Fun with Kids

Starlight Tin Can Lanterns

Consider making starlight tin can lanterns with older kids. You need several cans, a nail and a hammer to make them. Add water to the cans and freeze them. Once they are hard, place them on a cloth and hammer nails in them to make holes. You can even come up with pretty designs. Place a tea light inside to light up a dark room or the great outdoors.
