The can crushing works best if you karate chop the can in the center and then stomp down the top and bottom.

Sounds like fun!

It's also kind of fun if you stand on one foot on the can then lightly touch the middle of the can with your other foot. Instant crushing.

This sounds fun, but I dont have paint to be able to decorate one :(

Ok after doing some searching I think I have found TONS of cute ideas! I want to make sure I can get the paint first at wal-mart so I will check that out today!

I wish but it is all computer generated. Mine is all painted. I just have to decorate it now. So mine will be ready long before send off day. That is a good thing! It won't be late!
