Scripture Magnets


So first of all, I did not come up with this idea all by myself, I found the scripture scene back drop on the right in the picture on another website ( I cant remember where right now) and it was actually suppose to be used in a manilla folder and the awesome lady who made it also made scripture characters to go with it.  I had been looking for some magnetic scripture pictures for Addy though and this worked perfectly! I just printed it off, colored it, laminated it, and slapped a magnet on the back.   The Noah's ark magnet I DID make myself and I searched for free animal clipart online and printed the animals out and colored them to go with the ark. I also made a few Bible and Book of Mormon prophets and other magnets for Addy to play with, too. She loves them, and since they're magnetic, she can play with them on our fridge while I'm making dinner and she doesn't need too much of my attention :).


Butterfly Match

When I was a kid my Mom homeschooled my siblings and me for a few years.  One of the fun/ educational extra activities my mom had for us were manila folder games and projects.  I remember there being a few math games, a few grammar games, and then some folders that were just for fun.  Anyway I was trying to think of a way to use manila folders for Addy (who is only 23 months old) and I came up with ideas like matching, learning the alphabet, and learning numbers.  The only one I've finished so far is this butterfly matching folder, I'll post the others when I finish them though :).



Diaper Wipe Case

 


Just made this diaper wipe case tonight while I caught up on general conference :). I really liked this project because the things I needed were things that I already had on hand and its no sew, all hot glued :).
