#MINECRAFT BANNERS ULTRABALL CODE#

In the past we have made a monetary donation during our visit with Santa, but this year it was a lot more fun to toss toys into the large donation bin. There are lots of great organizations collecting new toys at this time of year, but I chose the Strathcona Christmas Bureau because of their connection with the wonderful Santa we always visit at Sherwood Park Mall. It was fun shopping together, and I was happily surprised by my son’s response of “Oh, that’s a nice thing to do for other kids mom!” I let my kids pick out one toy each for themselves and we used the other 3 coupons to pick out toys to donate to the Christmas Bureau. It took just over a month for the coupons to get shipped to me, but once I had them they were easy to use at Toys R Us and Walmart to “buy” toys.

By inputting a special code printed inside the box, I was able to order 5 coupons good for a free Hasbro toy valued at up to $15 or a coupon for $10 off a toy that cost $25 or more. Free Hasbro Game or Toy Offerīack in October, I stocked up on Kellogg’s cereal to take advantage of the Hasbro Game or Toy Offer they were running. We are continuing to give back to our community this Holiday season thanks to some help from Kellogg’s cereal, Hasbro Toys and The Salvation Army. Watching my son race around the kitchen island in excitement after I tallied up the votes and told him we had won was enough to make it all worth spending my entire Wednesday evening carving and painting pumpkins! I am not sure my carved pumpkins will survive until Halloween night, but we did end up winning the Halloween carving contest (I promise it wasn’t rigged). I am happy with the final result and hopefully my pumpkin will help inspire the other Eevee fans out there! I was apprehensive when my son suggested Eevee and I was unable to find any inspiration online, but the actual carving of the face was pretty simple. I usually like to theme our Halloween pumpkins to the kids costumes, just like my Olaf and BB8 pumpkins from last year, but this year I really struggled to come up with anything to go with the kids Batman and Batgirl costumes. I think the finished pokeballs look awesome both on their own and lit up, and are the perfect complement to our Eevee. Since the pumpkins were already white, I was able to leave the bottom portions as is. For the ultraball, I added yellow electrical tape for the stripes and used a pink sheet of foam and white duct tape for the finishing details on the Masterball. I then painted their tops with acrylic paint and finished them off with a ring of black electrical tape and a black and white paper circle glued to the center. I made a template to carve out each of the pumpkins to look like the balls were opening up and a flash of light was coming out like in the show/game. Who knew there were so many different types?! I was intended to make the traditional red and white ball, but my son requested that I also make an Ultraball and a Masterball. I then purchased an additional oval shaped pumpkin I could use to cut out his long pointy ears.įor the Pokeball’s, I found these great little round white pumpkins that I knew would work perfect with a bit of paint. I found a great white pumpkin that I knew would work great as Eevee’s fur collar and found a smaller orange pumpkin to stack on top as his head.

My Eevee was actually fairly simple to carve and create using 3 pumpkins. And you can’t have a Pokémon without a Pokeball so my husband also suggested we find some small pumpkins to transform into Pokeballs. Since his favourite character is Eevee, it was no surprise when he asked that I recreate one in pumpkin. What better place to go for ideas then your children? When I asked my 6 year old what kind of pumpkin he would like, he quickly suggested Pokémon as our theme.

Since I was tasked with running the contest, I knew I had to come up with something awesome for our submission. We have carved our pumpkins a bit early this year thanks to a Pumpkin Carving contest at my son’s elementary school this week.
