My 9-year old daughter is off to camp tomorrow and, being a part of the Green Team, needed all things green…including her hair. And since we weren’t quite ready for a $40 dye job, she researched temporary dyeing and came up with this idea. She mixed 5 packages of lemon-lime Kool-Aid (choose your favorite flavor) with about 8 ounces of water in two small bowls. The less water, the deeper the color. She then put her hair into pig tails, dipped the two ends in the bowls for 5 minutes, then rinsed them in the same two bowls filled with… Read more »

Next, either build a board game version of the video game, or use a video game design site like Gamestar Mechanic – http://gamestarmechanic.com/ – to build your own version of a classic arcade game. Consider ways you… Read more »

Grab a few unused toys from around the house and tools you can use to take them apart. Feel free to gather your favorite crafting supplies, as well. Disassemble the toys and reassemble them in a new way (with added craft supplies), perhaps to make a visual pun. Share out your work on your favorite social network. If you love this, try to start a chain of toy hacks, remixes of your work, or even a kitchen-table or virtual toy hacking workshop with friends. If you’d like to take this idea further, try it with electronic or mechanical toys and… Read more »
