We are enjoying the Jesse Tree study. I will post pictures of our Jesse Trees when we are completely done with them. The kids have managed to get them into a lapbook. :)
Along with our Jesse Tree, we are reading a Christmas book each day. Also enjoying that tradition.
Finally, we are doing an activity each day. Examples are singing a Christmas carol, watching a Christmas movie, making cookies, making hot chocolate, wrapping gifts. Sometimes we are making a Christmas craft. I wanted to share the two we have done so far.
The first is the Nativity Silhouette picture. The boys enjoyed doing this craft. It was easy and they turned out really good. I did use the template from the website (see previous entry).
Alex decided to paint his own stable, but used the templates for the nativity.
Here are our homemade Christmas cards. We cut a stencil out of cardstock and glued some fabric to the back of the stencil. Then we glued the stencil to the card. On the inside, we printed Merry Christmas on the computer and cut it with fancy scissors. (Mine is the Christmas tree, Alex's is the red candy cane, and NIcolas's the green one.)
They are going to give them to their Sunday School teachers. Mine? I'm not sure yet.
