For Tween Girls and Tween Boys
Tween girls - planning a super slumber party?
Tween boys - are the guys coming over to hang out?
Is someone having a birthday party?
Instead of "let's watch a movie", have a Scanner Party!
Ask your friends to bring a special treasure. Don't tell them why, that will make it more fun! The items can't be bigger than your scanner glass (usually about 9" X 12").
Three dimensional items such as action figures, small purses, dolls, leaves and flowers will work.
Model cars and trucks, colored pencils and crayons are all perfect.
Something as silly as socks will work too!
If someone doesn't bring a treasure, you can find lots of good stuff around the house!
Just place each item on the scanner glass and "take a picture."
As a party favor everyone could make their own scan, print it and take it home. If you're computer savvy, send the scanography to their email address instead.
Don't forget to leave the top up, place the item face down and make the room dark.
If you haven't read the how-to section for this special scanning technique go to the
Things to Know First page.
