Crafts

One of my favorite crafts to do for Valentine’s Day is let each of the kids make a card for daddy.  I give them stickers, markers, crayons, doilies and such and let them be the designers.  They love this.

You are one amazing lady! I don't know how you put this all together. Thanks for it though, much easier than trolling around for it all. I think I'll post back to you from the UK blog again. Have a great day!!

:) Great resources. Thanks for the time you took in posting this, and for stopping by to comment today on my blog. I love comments, too.

Happy Homeschooling! I hope to use some of your fun links tomorrow while we do school. I'm pretty eclectic in my homeschooling approach as well.
