This week we’ve been working on “K” and Keeping it simple! 😉
Sticky Mosaics are the best aren't they! What great ideas!
They ARE!! I can't believe we had never tried them before!! I'm already looking at others for M week! =)
The jelly bean bracelets look like fun! Did you just use regular sewing needles?
I love the expression of concentration on TT's face in the photo where she is drawing!!
such a fun girly week. I love it.
How fun!!! I too, love the butterfly mosaics the girls made. I know my girls would really enjoy it too. I haven't seen those before. Great ideas Jessica!
Thank you for sharing.
God bless!
Erin ~ They were just regular needles. They did need to be washed every so often do to getting rather sticky, and the ones we used had a rather blunt tip. At times I did need to help the girls at least get the needle started through the jelly bean and then they could pull it the rest of the way.
I LOVE the bracelets!
WOW! What neat ideas!
Oh what fun!!! Love the Jello idea!
Jessica, I love your blog. I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from it. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into posting all these things. I wanted to ask about the Teacher's Helper/Alphabet of Catholic Saints CDs…which ones did you purchase? There are quite a few – I'm glad they have a HS discount.
Thanks again and God bless you.
Jackie
Jackie ~ Sorry to take so long in answering your question… I posted more about Catholic Artworks, as well as which CD's I purchased here.
J week!!! yay!
