THANK YOU FLOWERS (stART) TINY SEEDS - BY ERIC CARLE

Thursday A Mommy's Adventures does a really fun blog carnival every Thursday - read your child a story then accompany it with art!


The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle

Every Wednesday my 3 kids & I go to CBS (Community Bible Study) they go to their own classrooms & are taught a Bible Lesson & they do a craft with the lesson for 2 hours. They have Bible Verses to memorize, etc. While I go in with my core group and do a Bible Study. What a blessing these women are who take care of our children while we are able to go draw close to the Lord. So as a small token of thank you my boys & I made them "thank you" flowers for them!

I printed off a simple coloring page (2 for each child) - before I printed it I enlarged the page in Microsoft Word, had my 5 year old, paint the flowers, cut out all the pieces, glue it together because both sides are the same and glue the flower parts to a pipe cleaner for the stem!

    Homeschooling is something I have seriously considered for my kids---I'm not sure the education they are getting is worth the private school tuition.

    Your newest follower from the blog hops, looking forward to learning more.

    The all green flower must be a very special variety.

    These are so cute! The colors they chose really tell about their ages.
