From this Coloring Book
(While looking at the Flower Fairies Alphabet
We didn’t do that much with Science this week other than learn about Quarks! I didn’t have any picture books to read on the topic, but the girls really enjoyed this coloring book. It is also available to “color” online if you’d rather not print it out.
We also talked about Quarters
and 
, Queen of Hearts, and the Queen of Hearts Nursery Rhyme, then made Queen of Heart Tarts!
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer’s day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and vowed he’d steal no more.
, this resulted in 12 tarts.
(aka Our Lady of Altagracia, since I didn’t have a chance to paint another…)
for with An Alphabet of Catholic Saints
The girls colored the Mary Queen of All Saints pictures from Our Saints Alphabet on CD and did some copywork from An Alphabet of Catholic Saints
We also read the beautiful book Take it to the Queen
“Q is for Queen
of both angel and saint
Mary Immaculate
pure without
taint”
~ Q is for Quiz ~
, 
, 
, and 
I went a bit overboard checking out books about quilts from the library (in addition to the ones already on our shelves!) and we are still enjoying them! Our favorites (so far) have been The Quiltmaker’s Gift
Quilt of Saints
or this kit
, but since we already made blankets during B week, we just made Paper Quilts of favorite saints.
by Captain, Rascal, Twinkle Toes and Chiquita
Petit Four Quilt
(Recipe from Heart to Hand: Quilt talk with Wendy)
Q-Tip Dandelions
(This picture was taken before the girls added a cotton ball to the center… Looks like I forgot to take a final picture. You can see one at No Time for Flashcards.)
After nearly quitting “Q” week, we ended finding lots to do and enjoyed every minute! Nevertheless, I was Ready to move on to “R”, and Roses, Rainbows and Red Raspberry Tea Sandwiches!
P.S. I’m not sure why when I publish this post, it is the only one that appears on my homepage? I had this same problem after my last Alphabet Path post…
Fantastic ideas as usual. I was wondering what you would come up with…Q is *hard*! 🙂
I love the Q-tip crafts, very clever for Q week, hehe…the desserts look so yummy!
Thanks!
Now that it is Lent, and since we are eliminating candy and cutting back on desserts, it is a little more challenging! We made the Petit Four Quilt before Lent (though the kids only ate one square each and the rest are in the freezer!) and the Queen of Heart Tarts on Sunday (Modifying the recipe and only making 12 made sure that we wouldn't have left overs!). :o)
Wow – who knew there was soooo much for 'Q'!!
i have those cookie cutters too, Jessica. I got them in Dec. in preparation for all our Christmas cookies. Aren't they fun? We did our Valentine cookies too, but i never got around to posting them, due to Blogger problems 🙂 we are really looking forward to St. Patrick and Easter cookies !!
Love all those quilt books! 🙂 The girls always do such a great job with the baking and crafts. (The boys' Maryland lapbooks turned out fantastic, too!) Do you like the Catholic Quiz books? Those look like a good idea for Easter baskets.

Shelly ~ My mother-in-law gave the girls the cookie cutters a couple years ago for Christmas, and just this past year we've finally been getting lots of use out of them. They are great!
Kristyn ~ I really do like the Catholic Quiz books. You can read a review at Love2Learn. I wonder if they are still in print though, since I wasn't able to find them anywhere other than the few copies at Amazon. They are a great idea for Easter Baskets!
Amazing Jessica!!
I ALSO MADE THET QUICHE…FOUND THE RECIPE AT CATHOLIC CUISINE…EVERYONE LOVED IT.
Thanks for the link to Love 2 Learn, Jessica!

We had an hour and a half of Q-tip painting fun, thanks to this post. Thank you, Jessica!
