Amlost Free Bingo

So My daughter who doesn't even drink tea wanted a tea party. So I was thinking of what can I do on a budget and still be fun? BINGO!

So here is what you need for this project:
Printer
Laminating machine and paper
Scissors
Empty Can of some sort with a lid ( I used empty formula can)
Glue
Construction Paper
Modpodge
Cute Paper
Flat marbles ( used ones from my wedding from 8 years ago)
Magic eraser
Magic markers
People to play BINGO!


FIRST!
I googled free bingo cards. I found http://www.apollostemplates.com/templates-bingo/ REALLY AWESOME! They have a generator so no one card is identical. Ceate and print to your hearts content!

CUT!
I have a nifty paper slicer but you can also use a pair of scissors to cut the bingo cards out. After you cut out the cards glue them on to construction paper *use glue very sparingly*

Heat Up Laminator Machine. Once you get all your cards glued you can start trimming them with your scissors so they have a hint of color. Once you do that you can put them in laminating paper and laminate. Since this part is slow you can type or hand write 15 of each letter B 1-15 numbers, I 16-30, N 31-45, G 46-60, O 61-75. Make small enough to fit on flat side of marble. Cut out and glue then modpodge to seal paper. Let Dry! I put them on a table outside in the sunshine.

Cut out laminated bingo cards.

Get your can and modpoge it. Put out side to dry.

ENJOY!
Once everything is dry.This took me 2 hours (4 little ones so I am always on the move) might take less time for you. Get your magic markers and magic erasers and play Bingo. Make sure you shake the can to mix the numbers.
