As opposed to a "bright" idea, perhaps?
Anyway, it was a fun little inexpensive project that maybe your family would like to do too. This is what we did.
We went to a park that had pine trees. This was so we could find pine cones. I hope it isn't illegal to take pine cones from a city park. I don't think it is but I've heard of crazier things. Maybe you have pine trees on your property ;). I just couldn't bring myself to buy pine cones at Michael's for 2.50 for a small bag of them. But while at Michael's, I did buy some glitter (on sale with a coupon, booya!).
We took the cones, spray glued them then threw them in a bag with gold glitter. Then the kids shook to their hearts content. I suggest you do this project outside, by the way. It look liked Abby was carrying a bag full of fairy dust.
Then I used some regular thread and tied it around the top of the glittered cone. Made a loop and another knot to make the hanging part. Tada! We hung them from the maple tree that I think I killed this year.

Neat Project. If picking up pine cones from a park is illegal. They should toss me in jail too. And most other teachers too. NO SNOW?? NO JACKETS?? Lucky you.
I think that is awesome!!! We'll do it! We have tiny Douglas Fir cones, but we've got lots, and lots of them. What time of year did you do this? I don't see any jackets! I thought you lived in the midwest where it snows, nstuff.
