See The Light Crossmaker Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on Crossmaker Myfamily can't seem to get enough of the See The Light DVD's! TheChildren are learning how to draw and learning stories about theBible all at the same time! Crossmaker is beautiful artwork set tothe Easter Story! The children are able to hear the story of Jesusbeing read to them as they are watching drawings to go along with thestory. After the story is done the children are able to learn how todraw the pictures depicted in during the story! How cool is that? Justas I always do I sat each of the day care kids in front of the TVwith their own drawing pencils and paper. The children love sittingthrough the story and learning the gospel. But, not as much as theylearn the drawings. Each child sits very still and tries so hard tomake their artwork as good as on TV. Even the younger children trytheir best and it is so special to see their individual styles emergefrom their drawings. Ialso enjoy watching the children show their parents what … [Read more...]

See The Light Art Classes DVD Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts On See The Light Art Class I run an at home day care and the day that I watched SeeThe Light: Art Class I had 5 kids at my home. I decided to see how well theyeach did with the DVD and they were thrilled to get out the art supplies and learnto draw pictures. I was also excited because I knew the faith base that wasbehind these classes and three of the children do not get to hear of the Lordor the Bible on a daily basis. I put in the DVD and the kids were instantly quiet. Theyenjoyed lesson one and was very excited to get to drawing. All together therewere four lessons and each one was about 10 minutes in length. This was perfectas the kids did not want to sit and listen for too long. By lesson three theyounger kids (2-3) were done with the video. Which was to be expected as theyare much too little. But the 5-8 year olds were still very interested andwatched the entire DVD! They loved the tips and tricks that they were taughtand had fun trying to draw the … [Read more...]

My Fuzzoodles House Partypalooza!
My Thoughts on Fuzzoodles I was thrilled to be able to host a Fuzzoodles House Party! Half of my daughters Kindergarten class was there and they also brought along their siblings! YAY! We had a total of 23 kids and 14 parents when all was said and done! The Fuzzoodles are a very fun craft. They are recommended for ages 5-7. I agree with the age group but think that 7-12 would really enjoy these as well. I did notice that while there were so many children at my house that some of them lost interest fast and wanted to do other things but when left in a small group they played more with the Fuzzoodles. I love that you can take them apart and re-create a new Fuzzoodle! I also heard feedback from some of the parents saying that they loved that Fuzzoodles is a craft their child can do without the use of scissors and glue! They are also mess free! I had parents comment that these would be wonderful on car trips as well as in waiting rooms or hospitals. Fuzzoodles are easy to use. … [Read more...]
