Super-Simple Cookie Houses
These no-bake mini-mansions are a million times easier to make than the gingerbread variety.
Bounce-a-rama Superballs
These balls are so much fun, be sure to make one for yourself.
What you will need:
A metal jack (from a game of jacks)
Lots of colored rubber bands
How to do it:
Loop, wrap, and twist the rubber bands around the jack until it is completely covered. Remember: The bigger the ball, the higher the bounce.
