Great minds think alike :) We do the same thing but yours is way cuter!! It's such a good way to remember that the season is not all about candy and bunnies . . . although we love candy and bunnies. I'm going to use it with my primary kids on Sunday too.
ReplyDeleteWow...I'm impressed! you are so creative:)
ReplyDeleteKirsten-I hope your primary kids enjoyed the lesson. It kept the Sunbeams occupied, and they didn't destroy it...so I would say it was a success!!!
ReplyDeleteSherri-I'm not that creative...I stole someone else's idea...
