We like to go to festivals, parties, Seaworld and even just head out to the zoo. What my kiddos like even more is going with a painted face. I especially love it if the location we are headed offers face painting. I grab my simple face paint kit I bought at Walmart, pull out my brushes and get to work.
Fortunately, my kids don't need super masterpieces, although we did do a full green face one year for the Hulk. Here is my fabulous spider with red eyes.
The end result includes two happy kids and a protected wallet at the event we attend. This is also great for birthday parties or even just play dates. If you get past the fear of needing to do a full face, you will be surprised that most kids are happy with ANYTHING on a cheek. One time I drew a few simple pictures on a piece of paper and told the kids to choose.
Do you have any simple money savers that bring joy to the family at the same time?
Have a great day!

One of my great money savers is that I take glow items that we already own to the theme parks so at night when they are selling the high priced light up swords I already have mine plus glow necklaces from the dollar store. And my son doesn't care where it came from just so he has something that lights up or glows!
