October Photo/Video Social Distancing Activities

These activities could be used for Family, School Friend, Church Groups or even by Yourself. 

At this time we all need a little fun and sense of togetherness even if we are apart. 

The suggestions are vague so it leaves it open for creativity. Each activity can be made serious or fun. 

The calendar can be sent out or pinned to a social media group or a group text. 

Then the tags can be sent as a reminder and a Title for the days pictures and video. 

Compile the months as an album or a slideshow to have as a keepsake. 

Prizes are always fun too, daily weekly monthly. Make is personal for your group

DINOSAURS

Fly in Amber 

 I wanted it to be a mosquito but only had flies on hand. Love the way these turned out and the fact that they are so easy.

It just uses Clear Pony Beads, Plastic Flies, Silicone Cupcake Cups  Place yellow pony beads in the silicone cup. Put in the oven on 425* for about 15-20 min until melted (Sometimes this has a strong smell so make sure you can ventilate) While still hot press a fly into the middle. After cool pop out of the cupcake cup. You can use a small drill bit and drill a hole in the top to hang or make a necklace out of.

Dinosaur Fossils

Sheetrock patching compound, Silicone Cupcake Cups

Another super easy super cute project. Mix up the powder with water to the consistency of  pancake flour. Pour about a 1/2 inch in the bottom of the cupcake cup. Let sit for about a minute or so till tacky, not to long. Gently press a plastic dinosaur into mud, remove. Wait about a half an hour and remove from cupcake paper.
