It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas: 9 Christmas Craft Kits for Kiddos!

November 17, 2017 1:40 AM

Crafts are great. I'm blessed with a crafty brain and I enjoy doing them on my own as well with my boys. I'm also the planner/organizer/leader of our Wednesday night 3-6 year old Bible study group and I include a craft or two each week. I also do lots of crafts with my boys. Toward the end of this month, we'll start doing Christmas crafts. I come up with a lot of ideas on my own, but I found some ready to go craft kids on Amazon that I'd love to share with y'all.

POM Turkey: Here's an Adorable Thanksgiving craft to keep the kiddos busy while dinner gets ready

November 12, 2017 12:20 AM

I’ve already made a few turkey crafts with the boys, but I couldn’t resist making this one too! It was a great opportunity to work on sorting colors and we ended up with really cute turkeys to boot. Both of the boys needed minimal help (just supervision), and I'm so happy with how they turned out!
