Birthday StART

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


JJ turned 5 yesterday so we did a birthday stART!
This book tells of a number of children from the Bible [Moses (Exodus 2:1-10), Samuel (1 Samuel 1), Jesus (Luke 2:1-20) and the children He blessed (Mark 10:13-16)] and how they were special and relates them to how God thinks all children are specials, especially on their birthdays.

For our craft we made cupcakes for our homeschool park playdate on his birthday.

  1. I love your books. You always have great books that tie back to the Bible. I will have to put this on my list of books to get. Can you tell me the author's name? Great activity- cooking with children is always fun.

  9. Happy 5th Birthday!!

    When I taught 4th grade at a Christian School I would send this book home with the birthday child to enjoy on their birthday. I think it is an amazing book and I loved reading it with Emily on her birthday now.

    Thank you for linking up to stART those cupcakes look very yummy!!
