Nativity Blocks

Need a quick and easy gift idea for children? How about some nativity blocks? All you need is some wood and nativity stickers. It's a great way to help the kids remember why we celebrate Christmas.

If you've never visited I am Momma, Hear me roar you must! She has tons of great ideas and tutorials. I'll be on the lookout for some nativity stickers for next year. I just know that my kids will LOVE playing with this.

Oh and as a side note today we are welcoming the newest member to our family. :) Wish us luck!

(No, I didn't write this post this morning. I love that with blogger you can schedule posts.)

Felt Ornaments

I really wanted to make some felt ornaments this year. But that just didn't happen. With a two year old and a baby due next week I'm losing motivation but still have TONS of ideas swimming in my head. When I saw these ornaments over at Craftiness is not Optional I fell in love.

Don't you just love the colors and different shapes? If only I had more time to craft I would be making millions of these. Next year for sure. The good news is there is a Free tutorial and pattern on how to make these. Awesome right? So if you are in need of a quick last minute project then this just might be it.

Toddler Christmas Activities

I recently stumbled upon the website 1+1+1=1. There you can find resources and free printables to use with your children.

I especially liked this Nativity Preschool Pack.

I printed off this short story and put it in a small photobook for Church. My daughter loved looking at all the animals and baby Jesus.

They also have some great worksheets for you kids to do. My daughter really isn't old enough for these but I still LOVE them!

I'm so glad I came across this site! I really love that they have worksheets and activities centered around Christ. I want my daughter to know the reason we celebrate Christmas is because of the birth of Baby Jesus.

Head on over to their site and check it out.
