Colorful Name Mosaic

Who say's you can't do fun crafts in your robe? :) We were having a lazy Sunday morning and then decided to do a name craft.

For this activity my daughter worked on:
cutting
gluing
letters
colors

First step was cutting strips of colored paper. I cut the long strips then had my daughter cut them smaller.

I then wrote my daughters name big and in pencil. Then I handed her a glue stick and she went to town gluing her colored pieces of paper to each letter.

As my daughter was working my 17 month old was getting so cranky until I finally put him up on a chair where he could glue on his own pieces and created his own little masterpiece. It was fun seeing how proud he was of his work. :)

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
