Last year,
I really enjoyed being the head room mom
for my daughter Ellie
who was in 6th grade.
One of the class parties we did
in the spring
was a Service party.
The other classes were tying blankets
but I had one again
procrastinated.
I didn’t have time to get
fabric donated
and I wasn’t going to go buy
a bunch with my own money!
I came up with the idea of a joke book.
I got 4×6 index cards
and had the kids write the joke
on the front
and the answer on the back.
I also asked them to use tons of color!
I made a cover with a free digital
scrapbook page that I found online.
Though it was years ago,
so I feel bad because I can’t
link to the person who made it
because I don’t remember.
I laminated each page and put them on a book ring!
I am delivering
these great joke books
to the pediatric floor of the hospital
where I work.
I laminated the pages
so that they could be easily cleaned
between patient use!
My younger kids
love reading through
the book
so I hope that
it will be fun for
those who are
sick on the peds unit!

Wow, these Class Party Ideas are fantastic. I am in love with all these crafts. Thanks for this wonderful share. On my son’s 6th birthday I am also going to host a crafty party at some domestic NYC event space.
I love this idea! Laughter is the best medicine after all!
