Break Time!

Yay for Christmas Break! So far we've seen Santa, put up the tree, decorated cookies, and gone looking at lights! We've been to several parties, and my husband and I won an ugly sweater contest :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plans for this week include making a gingerbread house, getting hot chocolate at Starbucks, and maybe making a few Christmas crafts! My mother in law gets everyone new Christmas pajamas every year, so one of our favorite traditions is opening those on Christmas Eve, then reading the Christmas story together from the Bible. Can't wait!  

Featured - Winter Mystery Picture Graphs

I've just finished a new set of Mystery Picture Graphs for Winter/the New Year. These are made by coloring in the squares using the coordinates given on the alphanumeric grid! Everyone has given great feedback about these graphs and buyers unanimously say, "The kids loved it!"

The penguin graph is FREE and is featured this week on My Primary Paradise as one the top 5 Freebies!

I hope you all are having a fabulous break!!

Turkey Crafts

 

I will be spending the next few days with my family at my sister's house for Thanksgiving. She has 3 young boys, and with my 4 there we'll have 7 kids, ages 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 3 months! I've been doing some browsing around for some great crafts we can do with the older ones while we're there to try and have a little bit of structure and sanity (if that's possible). Here are some of my favorite finds!!

I love this idea of just letting them paint the feathers on a paper plate! Cutting out a million feathers gets old quick!

 

 

I feel like most of my crafty things with the kids are using the same materials over and over - paper, crayons, glue, and paint. Using beans or pasta is something different that I think they will really enjoy!

This one would be great to do after a nature walk to collect leaves!

And although this might be a little difficult for the kids...I think this is one I'd like to try...

Happy Thanksgiving!!
