You’ve probably seen lots of make-your-own-scratch-off tutorials popping up on Pinterest. I thought that sounded so cool that I decided to give it a try! (I first saw a tutorial at Little Wonder’s Days) This project was to help my kids practice showing virtue in their daily life. After talking about the virtue (see here for the current We Choose Virtues GIVEAWAY going on NOW!) I handed them each a scratch-off card. Each time they were ‘caught’ showing the virtue of kindness they got to scratch off a spot on the card. If they made a match – they won the prize! It was a HUGE hit in our house.
Here is how to make your own:
- Here is my {free} Virtue Scratch off Card. Print it AND laminate it (you can use the self laminate pouches or invest in an inexpensive laminator – I use mine more than I thought I would! If you are interested mine is very small so it stores neatly, works great, and only costs $30 right now at Amazon!)
- Mix the scratch-off paint by mixing 1 TAB metallic acrylic paint & 1 TAB dish detergent in a bowl.
- Paint over the squares with your scratch off paint.
- Allow it to dry a couple of hours and you have your finished scratch off cards.
- Your kids are going to LOVE it! My kids think it is a hoot!
And for my pinning friends:
Here are the supplies I used:
So what scratch-off projects have you made? I have a couple more in process I can’t wait to share with you!
