Once I saw a model with spaghetti and marshmallows, but I'm not sure I'd want to go that route. It could get messy fast. If you have time, go to a craft store and see what's there. Foam/styrofoam balls and wooden dowels are a tried and true method. You could even improvise with metal coat hangers if you had to, provided you had a good way to cut them.

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

depends on the fragile item.  Foam 'peanuts' work great for almost anything.  Newspaper, balled-up newspaper for heavier items, bubble-wrap, sponge

go to a store that sells KNEX (toys-r-us) they have a set that has a motor on it. you can make the whole thing out of it or just use the motor.

No need for photos. It's easy. If you have more then one colored roll, pair them side by side and twist/unravel them. Attach one end to one corner of your room and head towards the center. Tape in place and repeat from all 4 corners, meeting at the same central point on the ceiling in the middle. Cover the tape points with balloons matching the color scheme of the party. Make sure you place balloons in the corners as well.

Soon you'll have a slime. Put in small containers overnight. Children have a lot of fun playing with it and it's not messy

fill water balloons with different amounts of water and drop them at the same height to see if they fall differently.  =)

Use chicken wire to make a volcano like thing, then cover it with plaster. paint it and add trees and stuff like that. then mix vinegar, red dye and baking soda together to make the lava.

use a CD and the top of a soda bottle (both the cap and the very top) glue the cap to the CD (you need a VERY small hole in the cap) and put the balloon on the very top of the bottle, use that to blow the balloon up

make a mini lava-lamp-like thingy.  get a cup, fill it about 3/4 full.  add food coloring, if u want.  pour a layer of oil about a centimeter thick.  then, pour salt, sugar, or sand, or all three on top of the oil.  it'll go up and down for a while, then the solid will settle at the bottom and the oil float stay on top.

Free activities:  take them to the library, they have all sorts of free programs for kids.  They can also borrow books, fairly new released dvds, and cds.  Park, school playground.  Water balloon toss.  Pool, or sprinkler would be cool.  Make their own snack, like trail mix.  Pizza bagels.  Usually AMC or Regal Cinemas offer free movie for kids and parents at 10 am once a week.  Check out their website for more info.  Bike riding, play follow the leader on bikes.  Volunteer you and the child's time at local retirement homes, etc. to set a good example.  Free local museums, zoo.  Crafts:  make a summer scrapbook together, Make pinuatas. You'll need newpaper, balloon for shape, and plaster of paris, paints.  Blow balloon up. Make a paste of plaster of paris, tear newspaper into strips, and adhere, let dry overnight. Leave a opening to fill with candy, and to pop balloon.  When dry, paint. When dry, decorate and add candy!  Grab a branch and have fun! Make placemats out of construction paper, and laminate.  You can cut pics out of magazines, or add beads/sequins, pics of family and friends.  Make colored sand.  Use salt or granulated sugar, baby food jar/ or other small jar.  Colored chalk.  On newspaper or paper bag, dump salt/sugar on table take a colored chalk stick and glide over sugar until desired colored is achieved. Place in jar, do the next color.  Until jar is full.  Cute.  Also, check out stores like Home Depot, Lowes, or A.C. Moore(craft store) they offer free make it and take it classes for kids.  Barnes and Nobles also should have free programs available also.  Have fun! I hope this helped you.

i actually did this in highschool, find a small square box, inside the box you need to put foam rubber(like you would find inside a couch cushion") any craft store will have numerous varieties of this.....line the box with it leaving a space twice the size of the egg. wrap the egg tightly with cotton batting (also available at your local craft store)....make sure that the egg CANNOT MOVE! The foam will absorb the force of impact and the egg should not break. finally, decorate your box as you see fit to make it sale worthy............................good luck!
