Last month we shared a thankful activity called the thankful pumpkin for the days leading up to Thanksgiving. Today we want to share an activity for the days before Christmas that our daughter just loves. We found some sparkling green felt at our local thrift store that we bought for about $1. I cut out a Christmas tree with it and then decorated the back ground with snow flakes that we made from coffee filters and made packages for the base, out of origami paper and bows. We used large tee pins to hang things on the Christmas tree. I decided it would be great to learn the different names of Jesus and read the scriptures they were used in. So I looked up a list on the internet and then had our daughter make construction paper candles to write the names on and pin them on the tree. It has really helped her knowledge of the Bible and she has become more familiar with the New Testament as each day she looks up a scripture and reads it to us. As you can tell we love to use art and hands on learning. This also brings up wonderful opportunity to talk about the scriptures.
