Sharing the Easter Message

Are you looking for a meaningful way to share the Easter message with your kiddo?  Do you need help teaching your child about a the crucifixion and resurrection?

If you answer yes to any of those questions then I am so excited to introduce you to a new book from my friend Amanda. I got to know Amanda while participating in Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Blitz in New York City.  Amanda has an amazing way of sharing the word of God with kids. Seriously, if don’t already you need to follow her blog, Oh Amanda. 

 

Her new ebook A Sense of the Resurrection was released today! 

 

Here’s what you’ll find in it:

12 activities to do prior to Easter. Each activity includes:

• sense(s) you’ll use
• scripture
• an activity
• the talk
• and more (optional printable flag).

So, that breaks down to about 3 activities a week if you start now!

 

My Thoughts

I’m really excited to dig into this resource.  Not only are the activities simple, but I love the idea of using our senses to learn about the death and resurrection of Christ.  I’ll keep you posted as we use it.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar {Giveaway}

This year marks the 45th year of The Very Hungry Caterpillar munching, crunching and lunching his way through pears, pies, and pickles.  45 years! Who knew? This beloved classic hasn’t aged a bit and is still entertaining its youngest audience. 

It’s not hard to believe why after all these years we’re “still hungry” for this book! I mean, who doesn’t love Eric Carle’s unique illustrations. They’re captivating.  Those images we grew to love long before we understood what the words on the pages meant. Those one-of-a-kind illustrations told the story and by the time we could read the words for ourselves we had already grown to love that fat little caterpillar and had an appreciation for his diverse diet.

Naturally a book this good needs to be celebrated. The “official” anniversary celebration will will take place on “Very Hungry Caterpillar Day” which takes place every year on the first day of spring (March 20th). As part of the celebration I’m hosting a giveaway!

Dr. Seuss’ Birthday

Oh man!  Last week was a doozy! A stomach virus hit us hard and took each of us out on different days…our youngest got hit twice!  It seems we may finally be on the mend.  

Did you know that yesterday was Dr. Seuss’ birthday? It was also National Read Across America Day.   I was hoping to put a theme pack together for Lil’Man, but it just never happened.  I did however get an 100 Chart Art done.

If you’re still looking for some fun ideas to incorporate Dr. Seuss books into your week, make sure and check out some of these fun activities.

Dr. Seuss Unit- 6 different books, each with their own activity

President’s Day Freebies on Pinterest

Last week was so packed full of fun, errands and more that we actually had to finish up school this weekend.  Boo!  We actually didn’t get to school at all on Wednesday.  Every Wednesday morning we go to bible study and then this week we attended a Valentine’s Day party afterwards. Even though the boy wasn’t too excited about finishing school during the weekend, he did enjoy attending the Valentine’s party. We are so grateful for our friends who planned it.

We could have played catch up on Friday, but Lil’man was so excited about his Valentine theme day I just couldn’t adjust our original plans. 

I didn’t create any President’s Day activities, but I found some fabulous FREE resources while browsing Pinterest.  So, if you’re looking for something to do tomorrow then head over and print a couple.

Praying you all have a great week.
