Dollar Dice Games
So for those of you who don’t know, I am a Prepper. I love everything emergency preparedness. As a member of the LDS church I have been taught to save for a rainy day, build my food storage and have a 72 hour kit. I love learning about preparedness. I am kind of nerdy that way. So this year I thought it would be fun to have a gift that can serve a few purposes. Super inexpensive (Under $5), fun for all ages, easy to store and I can use it in my emergency kit..
I love dice games. They are quick and easy and take up no space. And there are son many to choose from. I decided to pick 5 games I thought my kids would like. Printed them and glued them to card stock. I personally had them laminated. They just look prettier. Especially if you are putting them in a 72 hour kit.
Next I made a cute simple drawstring bag the size of my cards. (Or you can just use a Ziploc bag)
Add some dollar store dice. They usually come in a 10 pack. Be sure to check all your dice that they have all the same numbers on them. I have had a set with no 6 and 2 ones on the same dice. I guess that’s why they were at the dollar store.
If you want you could also add a small note book and pencil if you want for scoring.
Here are the games I chose for my family. you can click on the link and print them off your self.
I tried to keep them pretty simple so most my kids could play too.
I added a notepad and pencil to keep track of score. I also added a dry erase marker for the extra games I added below.
For one of my games I used this cute gingerbread from Kinzie Kreations. This one either requires you to laminate and have a dry erase or crayon or have a notebook to draw they gingerbread.
And I printed this one from Fabulous finds. The dice game Ten Thousand. She has it all ready to print.
If you would like more dice games to add to your fun try this website they have loads of dice games
If you are using them in a 72 hour kit, place your notebook in a ziploc bag to keep it away from moisture. Make a drawstring bag for all your stuff and you are ready to go.
My kids are super excited to play these games. I hope yours will too. Do you have any fun deice games your kids love? I would love to hear from you. I would love to add a few to our game bag.

For years my family has made these delicious Mousse bites. You can add whatever you like to them. My mom use to call them Barbara and Mr. Hershey. These little lovelies are a family favorite. They kind of don’t last a day in our house. These yummies have 2 simple ingredients and come together in about 30 minutes. They make an amazing neighbor treat for Christmas or for a party.

{Adore Him} Mantel
This years Christmas Mantel is is all about Nativities. I love Christmas Nativities. I have been collecting them for years.Countries like the Czech Republic, Mexico, Spain and Russia. I only have a few, but I really cherish them. The Framed art is a gift from my Husband for our First Christmas together. I added Vinyl for the “Adore Him” on the Mantel wall. So here is my Adore Him Mantel!
I added my Little People Nativity for the kids and our Santa village.
I used my “He is the Reason” Printable and my Shadow Box Nativity to top off the Mantel. You can find them Here and Here.
Reindeer Food
Every year kids hope to catch Santa coming to their home. Leaving milk and cookies for the jolly red-suit man. But what about the Reindeer? They need something while Santa delivers gifts and adding glitter helps the reindeer find your home. Introducing Reindeer Food! You can whip up a quick batch of reindeer food and use it as a neighbor gift or for your kids to give their friends for Christmas.
In a bowl mix oatmeal and red and silver glitter. Or whatever color you have and add a free printable.
Place a small amount in a bag. ( I got my small baggies at the craft store in the bead section.)
I usually add about 2 Tablespoons.
Add a reindeer food printable topper. And staple to the top of your bag.
All finished.
I made the reindeer food printable with gift-giving and kids in mind.
Sprinkle on the lawn at night
the moon will make it sparkle bright
as Santa’s reindeer fly and roam
this will guide them to your home
Have your kiddos sign the back and you’re finished.
Super easy and fun for your kiddos to make and do.
This topper will print as a 4×6.
Merry Christmas!!
