We Are Playing Again!!! Challenge's are Back!!

We are very excited to have you back with us at Pike's Playground.  We are starting up with some more challenges every two weeks.  We are so thankful to play again we thought this challenge theme should be "Thank You".  Okay, the other reason is Thanksgiving is around the corner and you know you could use a spare thank you card.  So get your Doodle Dragon images out and your card making stuff and whip up a Thank You card.  Post using the link below.  Me and the Doodle Crew will pick a favorite and winner will get a free image of there choice...simple!  Again, you must use a Doodle Image and your card should be made for this challenge of course.

Here are a few fun inspirations from the Doodle Crew.

Fall Carnival Ring Toss...

I am the newly appointed CubMaster for my church's Scout group, We did a small fall carnival with a few games and activities and I came up with this fall themed ring toss game. The ring toss game itself is a $10 foam game from Target, I am sure this would work with any other ring toss game found at party stores as well...

 First you need a piece of foam board, I get mine from the Dollar Store or Hobby Lobby. A pencil and Sharpie marker and an Xacto knife...

Transfer the image to the foam board...

 Outline it with the marker ...

 Color the whole piece...

 Then cut it out with an Xacto knife...

 Once all the pieces are cut and colored tape them to the pegs for the ring toss game...

I made different faces for each ear of corn...

and here is the final game...

IF you'd like to make your own, here is the template I drew...Click for a PDF version...

Thank you for stopping by. The scouts really had a fun time playing Ring Toss and the few others I will share a little later...

The hour apporaches...

I have a lot of time in the car when I sit and wait for the kids to get out of school, I have been messing around with Sketch Book Pro on the old ipad while I wait for the monkeys...another could be haunt-ed...

 one last not so haunting...

Still needing some practice in sketch book...
