In January I decided that I wasn't getting enough personal scripture study time but I couldn't think of how to fit it in unless my kids joined me. My kids are young, but I felt like they were old enough to start doing their own personal scripture study too. Except I was pretty sure that if I said, "Okay, 15-20 minutes of quiet study time for us all...GO!" They would have no idea what to do and it would end in chaos.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
How does one "study" the scriptures? How do you go beyond just reading them to learning from the scriptures and then applying what you learn too?</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
I wanted to help my kids do that and I thought if we did it together I would have the time I was craving in the scriptures too.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And that's how our morning scripture journal time was born.</span></b></center>

I've blogged <a href="http://www.thislittleproject.com/2009/02/love-letters-from-lord.html">once</a> or <a href="http://www.thislittleproject.com/2011/09/devotional-project.html">twice</a> about our morning devotionals. This past year that morphed to morning memorizing time as we worked to memorize the Family Proclamation <a href="http://www.cranialhiccups.com/2012/06/memorize-the-family-a-proclamation-to-the-world.html">using these helpers</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I felt like we were ready to something different now that some of the kids are older (they range from age 9 to 2 years old.)</span></center>

At Primary this year the study focus has been the New Testament, so I thought that we would start there. It would give us a chance to build on what we were learning at church each week.</span></center>

I'll share how scripture journals has worked at our house. Feel free to adapt it however you need for your family!</span></center>

<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
1- Each of us has our own composition notebook and we decorated them (a must!) so we could all get excited about using them.</span></center>

2- A Box: All the Scripture Journals (composition notebooks), pens, and glue sticks go into a box so we were always ready to go. All of our scriptures are also in one place, ready to use. This saves sanity :)</span></center>

<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
3- I printed out {<a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/67086621/New-Testament-Stories-SJ-Prompts">these</a>} scripture prompts to help give the kids a nudge about what they could write about and I just cut them out as we went. You could also print them on sticker paper.</span></center>

We start with a prayer (and use birth order to help us remember whose turn it is.) </span></center>

Then we sing a hymn together. We learn a new one each week. This has added more time to our journal time. If you have limited time, you could certainly stick to the ones you know. But if you want to add it in, this is how we do it: On the first day of the week with our new hymn each child takes a turn reading the words to one verse of the hymn. Then we sing that verse. Then another child reads the next hymn verse. Then we sing it, etc. The kids enjoy having their own turn to read for each verse. After the first day we just sing all the verses through each day. By the time we have Family Home Evening the next Monday we all know the new hymn and can sing it together. We are working our way through the hymn book this way. </span></center>

Using this book helped us cover many of the main messages and stories. The scripture prompts above had one for each chapter in this book which was perfect since that is how we were organizing ourselves. There were plenty of times when I added extra verses in for something that wasn't covered because there were things I didn't want to leave it out. But I loved the help this gave us in organizing our study.</span></center>

The kids and I take turns reading each verse of the chapter we are studying. But we <u>stop after each verse and talk</u> about what happened and if there's a broader message we can build on we talk about that too. We do lots of talking about what we are reading, which is different from our family scripture study where we talk mostly at the end when each person says one thing they noticed in the 2-3 verses they read that night. We talk about feelings and how we might have felt, how Christ felt, how those in the story felt. We talk about their choices and the consequences; and what that means for us TODAY. We are trying to remember that the scriptures are for us now. </span></center>

But the biggest thing that is different from our family nightly scripture study is the WRITING. This is where it also gets personal. After we finish our reading I pass out the writing prompts and we glue them in and start writing. I feel like talking about these things is a big part of our study. Having a group to bounce ideas off of is a neat way to study. But there is something about <u>writing that makes you own what you were just talking about</u>. As I write I feel like everything we have talked about gets magnified and I see patterns and greater meaning during the writing time than I did just reading. </span></center>

I don't make my kids write a certain amount, or for a certain amount of time. I want them to WANT to write and participate. And so far they do. And I have been surprised at how much they want to write. They even compete to see who writes the longest on some days. I don't check their work, or read what they wrote either. It's their journal. It's for them.</span></center>

But I DO talk about what they COULD write about. Or mention some things I want to write about. And I do remind them of the themes we talked about as we studied. I don't want writing to be painful for them so I try to give them plenty of ideas, and so far they enjoy it. Sometimes my 5 year old just copies out a scripture verse. Most of the time she draws a picture because she loves to draw. My 2 year old loves to participate too. He glues all the prompts in and "writes" too. Sometimes our scripture time is not really a peaceful time and </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I often get out a quiet toy for him to play with</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">. But I can't give it up because I have seen the scriptures come alive for us and so we persevere anyway!</span></center>

How much time does it take us to do all this? I try to keep it short, and it ranges from 15-45 minutes depending on what we are discussing and how much time we have. (The more time we get, the happier I am :) Our scripture journal time has turned into my favorite part of the day.</span></center>

When it comes right down to it, of all the learning and working we could be doing....the thing that matters the most to me at the end of the day is if I have helped my children have a chance to grow their testimonies and feel the Holy Ghost. Because in the end, our conversion to Jesus Christ is the thing that matters the most.</span></center>

Pretzels and carrots for Olaf, yogurt for snow, hot chocolate because Olaf wanted some, marshmallows for snow balls, heart-cut bread with cream cheese because love conquers all.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well, I have good news: we survived our cross-country move and are all moved in! So I wanted to check-in and share a little project.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I won't dwell on our move because it wasn't a little project at all. It was a big one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But, I am loving the music room in our new house. I found this fun piece of wood on the side of the road and instantly loved it and knew I had to do something fun with it. I measured it and knew it would be perfect for our violins to hang on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jay, Kay and Ellie all play the violin. (The full-sized violin is mine.) Little fingers take forever to get their violins out of the case, get the shoulder rest on, bow out, and ready to play. And then putting them away takes that time all over again. So "this little project" is saving me over an hour a day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our violins are supposed to be stored away from an outside wall. So this wood with some spacers behind it became the perfect way to save time, store them properly, and it's so fun to see all the pretty violins too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I attached these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/String-Swing-Studio-Violin-Hanger/dp/B0009S5JMM/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1381800715&sr=1-1&keywords=violin+string+swing">String Swings</a> to the wood that holds the violins. I love that they hold the violins safely and are easy for the kids to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It feels nice to get something accomplished, other than packing and unpacking!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well friends, it's been awhile...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87603595@N04/9298417062/" title="IMG_0210 by thislittleproject8, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="IMG_0210" height="500" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3678/9298417062_82df6b1a6d.jpg" width="374" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But if you had this little guy to distract you, you may not be blogging much either! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a friend who exercises <b>everyday</b>. She has 8 children. I asked her what her secret is. She told me it's her "one thing." She said it's the one thing that she does everyday. It's at the top of her list. She may not shower, she may not cook dinner, but she makes time for her "one thing." Now, I'm sure she had other things at the top of her list too, like her family. But I've been thinking about that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are only <i>so many</i> "one things" you can have; only so many minutes to wiggle them into.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And ever since Baby M made his appearance, he has been my "one thing" that took the place of writing and sharing here as much as I used to. It's ok. It's the "season"we are in. He's been my hardest baby. And that's ok. He's my "little project" right now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other "one thing" that has been swallowing up my extra minutes is that we are moving. Across the country. It takes an bucketload of time to have your house on the market, look for another house, research the new area, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's hard to look around at all the "little projects" I made just for our home that won't be apart of our future. But it's also exciting to think about the future projects in the works. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87603595@N04/9295611393/" title="IMG_3136 by thislittleproject8, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="IMG_3136" height="333" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3814/9295611393_2afaec19c6.jpg" width="500" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometime I need to take the time to go back and share the photos of fun "little projects" we have been up to over the last little while. Here's a sample for today, along with a hope that I can fill in the details soon...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made Violet Jelly: from violets growing in our own front yard!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's so pretty!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been teaching an Irish Step Dance class for Kay and Ellie and friends. It has been a blast!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/87603595@N04/9298381962/" title="IMG_9738 by thislittleproject8, on Flickr"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="IMG_9738" height="500" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3674/9298381962_440e1de8cd.jpg" width="374" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Each year we have an Earth Day party at our house.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Which means that we need cake. Of course. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8408/8696768123_e5be75135d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8408/8696768123_e5be75135d.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These yummy cupcakes were preceded by a lesson about the creation of the earth (what more persuasive way is there to talk about why we should take care of the earth than to talk about Who made it and Why it's for us?)</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
</div>
</center>
<center>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We also made a "creation art project" and "creation party mix" before the cupcakes, which I will have to share on a later post...</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Inspired by <a href="http://birdonacake.blogspot.com/2012/04/earth-day-cupcakes.html">these</a>, we decided to make "Earth" cupcakes for our party. </span></center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> I started out with a white cake mix (since the kids were helping with {this little project}. We divided the batter in half and put blue in half and green in half.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then we dolloped each color into cupcake liners.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> My sweet friend gave me some darling mini cookie cutters as a birthday gift this year and we decided
to use them to showcase some of God's creations on the earth. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
First I cut the tops off of the cupcake.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img height="298" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8418/8696773963_114e7028ed_z.jpg" width="400" /></span>
</div>
</center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Then I frosted the "new top" while the kids cut out a shape from the "muffin" part.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Then we replaced the tops. One bonus of this method: less frosting all over faces and hands!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></center>
<center>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8117/8696755299_f23d6b2308.jpg" /> </span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
</div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We also tried some where we cut out the inside of the cupcake and filled it with frosting. </span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
</div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8535/8697892936_143351aa84_z.jpg" /> </span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Loving the Earth is wonderful. We need to be good stewards of the incredible gift we have been given.</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But to me, these cupcakes are more like: "For God so <b>loved the world</b>, that he gave his only begotten Son, that <b>whosoever</b> would believe on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life." <a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/for-god-so-loved-the-world?lang=eng">(John 3:16)</a></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For whatever reason, Jay and Kay have been fighting/teasing/bothering each other like crazy this week. One night I named these cupcakes "no-contention cupcakes." They couldn't have one if they were causing contention. It got their attention.</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The next night (we couldn't eat them all at once!) I called them "Peace on Earth" cupcakes. And the name stuck. These cupcakes were just the reminder my kiddos needed about what is important.</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Makes me want to make these {little} yummies again!</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img height="298" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8128/8697886092_aa6d72e2c8_z.jpg" width="400" /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And my {little} boy hit the 5 month mark around Earth Day. I can't believe it. Since I haven't been blogging much since his birth, I haven't shared much about him. He's the sweetest {little by little} major project there ever was! I'm one lucky mommy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hi friends, long time no blogging....let's just say that between Baby M arriving and winter bringing sickness here I haven't been around to share the {little} things we've been up to. </span></center>

a butterfly from an egg to a monarch butterfly. It's perfect to watch
before learning and singing the songs below.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span>This movie is a song about the life cycle of a butterfly, with
pictures. It's short and easy for young kids to sing. (Note: usually
the "house"a butterfly makes is referred to as a chrysalis and the one a
moth makes is a cocoon.) </div>

Here is another song about the butterfly life cycle-no pictures, but the kids would <a href="http://www.kidzone.ws/animals/monarchlifecyclenowords.htm">love coloring this one to go with it.</a> Just cut out each piece and glue to it a popsicle stick and hold it up for each part of the song.</div>

I love this way of acting out the life cycle. You just need a blanket, some butterfly wings, and some "leaves to eat". This is a wonderful way to incorporate movement into learning.</div>

is a fun way to do some hands-on learning. This gummy worm is the
caterpillar and then the kids turn him into a butterfly. For peanut
allergies, substitute marshmallow cream for the peanut butter spread. <a href="http://www.thislittleproject.com/2012/03/butterfly-snack-craft.html">Directions here.</a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you like to dress your {little} man up </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">{this little project} is for you! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know there are a ton of DIY tie ideas out there for little boys. <b> </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But they still require making the tie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>These {little} ties are WAY EASIER! </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7681346334_ca197ec8a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7681346334_ca197ec8a2.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These {little} man ties would be perfect for Easter, dressing up like Dad on Father's Day, etc. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was wandering through a consignment shop and happened upon a basket of ties. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I thought: I can chop the end off to shorten this tie and be done with it!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">f you put a man's tie on a boy the tail
is too long right? Well, so cut it off and you have your tie. Done!
I'm pretty sure that most of our hubbys have ties that aren't their
favorite anymore. So now you can give them a new life!</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5107/5681156113_ae0c0dccdd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5107/5681156113_ae0c0dccdd.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I bought them ($1 each), had my husband tie a knot in them closer to the front end, adjusted the size for my little Jay to wear, CHOPPED the end off, and hemmed it.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">easy!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To make these ties {little} boy friendly, we just leave the ties tied. He just slips them on and tightens them up. And loosens them when taking them off. Easy.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jay was 5 years old when I made these for him and they will last for a long time since they adjust just like Daddy's ties do!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And what do you think I'm going to do with the tails? I think I'll s<a href="http://www.thislittleproject.com/2012/11/how-to-make-little-tie-onesie.html">ew them onto Baby M's shirt</a> to make my two {little} boys match:) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Originally posted at abcand123learning.com) </span><br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share some ideas to MOVE past just reading the Dr. Seuss books and making a craft. We're going to be getting off that chair and MOVING to Dr. Seuss!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Each year I get so excited to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2nd). It's a wonderful way to celebrate reading and the fun world he created that kids love!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know, some children are full-body learners. My daughter is very much this kind of learner. Everything makes more sense to her when she can touch it or get her whole body involved somehow. For the other kids, these activities reinforce concepts they've learned in other ways which is also very important!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>One way to get bodies involved is to dress them up!</b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is our Cat in the Hat dress-up that we use for the game you will see below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<a href="http://thislittleproject.blogspot.com/2012/02/dr-seuss-dress-up.html">Link for details of how to make this dress up</a> <i>the kids are making their own hats.</i>)<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7202/6785969090_7aff28f4b6.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dr. Seuss Rhyme Tag</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>This game is a fun way to reinforce rhyming practice and get the kids moving!</i></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The person who is "it" is the "cat in the hat." <i>See photo above-</i></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the Cat in the Hat tags someone the person is "caught" and has to freeze. The frozen person thinks of a word and says it when another player runs by. Once someone rhymes a word with the frozen person and taps them, that person becomes "unfrozen" and is back in the game.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can switch who is it/the Cat in the Hat with a timer or whenever they catch a certain number of kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Music + a Book = FUN! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little dance party to Green Eggs and Ham adds fun movement to this classic!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thing 1/Thing 2 May I? Game </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a variation on the classic, "Mother May I?" game. You could also play this game using the Cat in the Hat dress-up above (so you don't have to make the puppets to play it.)<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to combine the activity we are doing (thing 1 or 2 puppets) with a game to practice our rhyming and this is how we are doing it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEJ7V-rijqmA5zL7T5O_c8YOn_imPXB3hACHxURU8f_NA-wigYVsMNjtzYi5abaXgtk3L9Va-9uEWv63rrAKRHLVXGv44sE0ATS30HB1AnQI1YNhr_8-tikBX6VykUhwp3-camWbgqUFQ/s1600/2012-01-19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEJ7V-rijqmA5zL7T5O_c8YOn_imPXB3hACHxURU8f_NA-wigYVsMNjtzYi5abaXgtk3L9Va-9uEWv63rrAKRHLVXGv44sE0ATS30HB1AnQI1YNhr_8-tikBX6VykUhwp3-camWbgqUFQ/s400/2012-01-19.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the puppets we are using this printable and directions on assembly at <a href="http://www.obseussed.com/2012/01/dr-seuss-thing-1-thing-2-paper-bag.html">obseussed</a> (where you'll find lots more Seuss fun!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Thing 1 and 2 Game Instructions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">The idea is to use rhyming and Dr. Seuss characters combined with the usual parts of the game.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully this makes sense!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One child (the mother) stands a the front of the group with their puppet (either Thing 1 or 2).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each child can ask (the mother) to do something (hop, steps, etc.) while holding their puppet and making it "talk."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The child who is the "mother" at the front uses their puppet to "talk" back to the the child that asked the question. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The children takes turns asking ways to get to the front, varying the number of steps/ hops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one to get up to the child in the front first wins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If someone forgets to say "Thing 1" when they ask their question or cannot think of a rhyming word, they go back to the start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>It goes something like this:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using their puppet, one child in line says: "Thing 1, may I take 3 hops?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thing 1 (standing facing the other children in the line and using their puppet): "If you rhyme with "ball" you may.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
etc.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr. Seuss Day (March 2nd) is one of our favorite holidays and it's always a "treat" to decide how we will celebrate.</span></span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love being able to sneak some learning into snack time. And this year we made a game of it!</span></span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One of our favorite ways to celebrate holidays is with a Muffin Tin Meal. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My kids think it is the perfect {little} touch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Although we have celebrated Dr. Seuss Day (March 2nd) for many years, I've never made green eggs and ham! I thought they would gobble it right up....but they were are afraid to at first!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The fun thing about a muffin tin meal is that there is just a {little} bit of each kind of food. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8106/8468452286_141052e23e.jpg" /> </span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you are a regular reader, you know I'm a big fan of {little} projects because I can get them done. And this no-sew ruffle pillow certainly qualifies!</span><br />
</div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love making pillow covers because it's so fun to be able to switch over monthly decor in a snap.</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, I picked a fabric and wrapped it around my throw pillow to determine how much fabric I needed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8238/8439072757_02c089b6c2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8238/8439072757_02c089b6c2.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It should overlap at least an inch in the middle on the back.</span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Then I found the center of the front and started "drawing" my ruffled heart with this darling gingham ruffled trim from Hobby Lobby. </span></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love it because it is ruffled down the center so both sides are ruffled! I also love it because it was $1.50 for 3 yards and I didn't need nearly all of it.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8095/8442969940_e92e5c97ca.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8095/8442969940_e92e5c97ca.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I just pinned around the original size of the heart to make sure I liked the size and then used hot glue between the pins to hold it in place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then I took out the pins and glued under those spots too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I used the pins to pin the next layer/section of the heart and repeated the hot glue and pinning until I made it to the middle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It's a stretchy trim so be careful not to stretch as you go. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The heart is in the center of the fabric like this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8511/8442919368_7a71e85355.jpg" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now to turn it into a pillow cover you just fold back the 2 side edges to hem (either use hot glue or sew).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then put the heart facing your pillow (inside out) and wrap it around to determine the size (like at the first) and then pin the overlap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Remove the pillow. And then either hot glue the top and bottom edges or sew them since it's a nice straight line! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then turn it right-side out and stuff your pillow inside! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">

<div id="allsizes-photo" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Easy. Done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I told you it was a {little} project ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My husband gave me an ipad for Mother's Day. That's an over-the-top kind of gift at our house. But as a mother, I can't think of many gifts that have helped at our house more than {this little} gadget! </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I don't think either of us knew how
perfect this gift would be for a homeschooling mother expecting baby number 4,
and now as a mother of a newborn! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know how useful it can be to have help sorting through all of the apps available, so I want to share some of our favorites with you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Where available I will include links for android as well.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8290/7785601286_81318d55b0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8290/7785601286_81318d55b0.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We originally thought about getting an ipad because we just have a laptop and in the evenings when the kids are <i><b>finally</b></i> in bed and my hubby and I both have our hands free we seemed to both need the computer at the same time. The same thing would happen during the day when I needed to do something and I Jay needed to use it for school work.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love the portability of the laptop. I love being able to take it and edit photos or respond to email while I'm helping my kids practice the piano. The idea of having so many apps to assist with learning and being able to use it on-the-go meant that it was the perfect meld for our homeschool family that really doesn't stay home everyday for school. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But I couldn't stand the thought of having the kids carry the ipad around, knowing it could be dropped anytime. So I added this cover to it: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=thilitpro-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B004PYD95K" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I love the Gumdrop Case (above) because it's <i><b>not </b></i>sleek. The ipad alone is sleek and this cover changes that which is WHY it is perfect for kids. This case makes the ipad easy to hold onto, it doesn't slide anywhere and it's heavy duty. I don't think our ipad has ever been dropped (if it has the kids didn't tell me!) but either way, it has worked great and I love that the screen cover is so easy to wipe clean! My {little} Ellie is 2 and I trust her with the ipad in this case.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Now onto some of our favorite apps! </b> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
There are plenty of games on our ipad, but most of them are educational. I don't know if an app or "game" can ever replace a more "hands on" learning approach. But using these apps in addition to our other learning work has been great and keeps the kids very excited about many subjects!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This list is certainly only a few of our favorites. I will definitely need to do a part 2 or part 3 as well! But this list includes our first favorites--and they were perfect for when this tired mommy needed a {little} snooze too :)</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will also say that I have to really monitor the ipad/iphone use. They would play all day so we have a password on both and the kids know they can't even ask for a turn until their other responsibilities are done....which actually makes for some good motivation on some days!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I started on this post quite a few months ago and of course we've found more learning fun in the meantime....so look for {part 2} soon!</span></center>

The secret to learning at our house is to keep the kiddos excited. And they always get excited when there is candy involved! Their Valentine's Day loot is perfect for lots of math learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Valentine's Day coming up I've been thinking about what games we will play this year. I never take photos ahead of time, just during the real deal so these are some of our games from last year (in 2 separate posts)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Greater than/Less than with Hearts: (an example with coins)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7188/6786007976_4fcfa97f17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7188/6786007976_4fcfa97f17.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the idea of an <b>alligator mouth wanting to eat the biggest
number</b> to show greatest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the way I learned when I was {little} and so I play these
kinds of games with my {littles} now. And a heart is the perfect shape for it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on the age you are working with, you can change the greater/less than game up. I did simple coins with Kay, more complex with Jay, and used groups of candy as well. The kids turned the heart with the jaws to eat the one with more. They loved it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Color matching/sorting</b> with candy hearts. We always <b>graph</b> these as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sizing: small, medium, large: </b><br />This is great for toddlers and preschoolers. <br />After you sort all the candy you can graph it too!<br />
<br />
