Many students have already graduated. My grandson graduates from high school next week. I thought I’d share a book I’m including with his gift.

The Legend of the Three Trees is a board book I’ve had for many years. This one was published in 2001. I’m sure I read it to my grandchildren, nieces, and nephews when they were young. The book is also published in picture book form, but I’ve chosen the board book. It can be read in a short period of time. Aren’t young adults busy pecking away on their phones?

Yes, it’s an unusual gift, but a gift that illustrates how our dreams are often much smaller than the dreams God has for us.

I hope when my grandson has his own family, he’ll read The Legend of the Three Trees to his little ones. I have no doubt they’ll fall in love with it–just like I did.

Congratulations to all the 2022 graduates!

May God bless you.

 

Two by two boxes decorated with stickers, cut-outs, and filled with candy make lovely Mother’s Day gifts. These are great for shut-ins, neighbors, assisted living residents, and dozens more. You might have your own decorating idea.

I filled mine with peanut butter cups, mints, and Lindt Chocolates.

Fork painting, feathers, and wiggle eyes make a fun Easter project for children. I found this cute chick craft on Pinterest.

I printed a free egg template on cardstock and made a circle in the center so children can follow a pattern. Just dip the underside of a fork into craft paint. Make sure the paint is dry before adding the wiggle eyes, beak, and feathers.

I couldn’t post this without adding a cookie.

Happy Easter!

 

 

I found this darling newspaper bunny craft online. I printed a free copy on cardstock, cut it out, and traced it on newspaper. A fun, easy project for children. Little hands will need help cutting as the newspaper is extremely thin.

Children can add grass, flowers, or anything else they want to enhance the picture. Let their creativity shine. Our Sunday School class will make these, and we plan to add a scripture.

Supplies needed are pictured below. An inexpensive project to tackle.

Have fun!
