Scratch-Off Paint Gender Revealing

 Our 3rd littlest disciple will be arriving in August!  We always find out the baby's gender (my husband and I are annoyingly organized and prepared people), and then just announce to our family in person or a phone call.  But we wanted to do something different and fun this time.

I recently saw a post from No Time For Flash Cards website over Scratch-Off Chore Chart.  I thought a scratch-off card would be a perfect way to reveal the baby's gender to our friends and family.

Supplies: Dish soap, Metallic Acrylic Craft Paint, Contact Paper, marker, brush, card stock paper

Directions:

Write the word you want to scratch out with a marker on the card stock paper.  Cut and place Contact Paper over the word. (If you don't place the contact paper, it makes it very difficult to scratch off)

In a small bowl, mix 2 tsp. of Metallic Paint with 1 tsp. of dish soap.

Paint over the Contact Paper and let dry.

Scratch off the paint with a coin for the revealing!

It's a BOY!!

 

This is the card I made to give to our family.  I put it in an envelope with a coin inside.  I even mailed one to my grandpa who lives out of town.  I know he will get a kick out of it!
