Can we do a project Mommy?
…of course we can!
What kid isn’t a fan of school projects that don’t require a workbook? My kids beg for hands on, and thanks to wonderful books and blogs – I have hundreds of things for them to do.
For science, we’re learning about plants – so of course our kitchen and other areas of our house are a designated Greenhouse. We’re growing beans, snap peas, roma tomatoes, basil, parsley, chives and grass. The flowers didn’t make it. But these greens are thriving!
Butch and Fro
These grass guys need regular haircuts! I would suggest these to any mother with children who love to cut or give haircuts to siblings and dollies. It grows back fast!
Speaking of kids who love scissors but shouldn’t…
Since the kids prefer to play outside, now that the snow has melted away to warmer days, we snack on our new home’s deck and find enticing ways to keep them on task. Because once they get into the backyard for recess, there’s no bringing them back inside until sundown. Below are my preschooler’s current favorite games to keep them occupied, while I help the older ones in their studies. Among other things I step on throughout the day.
Plastic Mosaics and Foam Shapes
Preschool projects (most found on Catholic Icing’s Catholic ABCs) turn into a group project, adjusting for each child’s level. We’ve really enjoyed project days, and love that these are faith-based.

J is for St. Joseph the Worker
a simple paper puppet I designed.

taking Lacy’s idea with what I had in my craft box. A styrofoam cup for the face, and paper plate cut, curled into a crown and decorated, then and a popsicle stick cross to clearly identify who is the King.
Looking forward to making Lights, Monstrance, Nuns, Offering, Prayer and Pope, Queen, Rosary, Saints,

Finally, U, V, W, X, Y and Z still a surprise to us all!
