Homemade Confetti

You've heard it before: kids tend to like the toys that cost the least. The amount of cost of the toy is directly proportional to how much they'll use it. If it costs $100, they'll play with it one hour. If it's a 5 cent yard sale find, it'll make the journey to college with them.

I bought Morgan a pair of $2 scissors. She loves them. Several times a day she'll just cut paper into little confetti pieces. The paper scraps have to be swept up every night, but who cares? She's very proud of herself and looking for anything to cut. We continue to indoctrinate with the mantra "Only cut paper. Only cut paper." But we do have to beware as bills come in paper form as well. :)

Meanwhile, we're planning on profiting from her paper cutting. Homemade confetti: 5 bucks a bag. Make checks payable to Morgan's College Fund.
