I bet your kids would love it too and my friend has a nice tutorial here. http://afamilyofsojourners.blogspot.com/2014/11/make-your-own-advent-calendar-part-1.htmlElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-16260632816527799362014-12-17T23:30:20.873+03:002014-12-17T23:30:20.873+03:00That is a great idea and I would like to make a ve...That is a great idea and I would like to make a version for the fridge. Not sure if I will get around to it this year but it is a great ready-made surface! I even thought of just sketching a few pictures out really quick and sticking some of our boring freebie magnets to the back. I don't have any contact paper on hand right now. David is so into taking things apart that I try not to invest TOO much into my crafts. <br /><br />Do you read Monnie any Bible stories? David has a few books with parables and miracles of Jesus, along with the Nativity story. I guess it is like another storybook character to him. Who knows what goes on in their heads? <br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-16524368295890404282014-12-17T22:07:20.811+03:002014-12-17T22:07:20.811+03:00How fun!

I would like to make a felt storyboard for the kids one of these days - I think they'd love it. :-)Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177545285954715021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-82681030831599880022014-12-17T01:49:01.192+03:002014-12-17T01:49:01.192+03:00Well, I think yours is pretty darned cute, and esp...Well, I think yours is pretty darned cute, and especially sweet since David himself helped.<br /><br />However, just to throw out an idea - I replaced our old felt board for the Sunday School classes with figures that I make from paper and then cover hard laminate (or I can print them on card stock and do regular laminating). I put a piece of sticky magnet on the back and they can be moved around on the white board in the classroom - or they would be great for the refrigerator at home. They are stiff; they are pretty indestructible, and they can be used on the intended (magnetic) surface, or laid out on the table or floor. I use these all the way up through sixth grade and laugh to myself as the boys enjoy them (because I am thinking all the time that they are so much like paper dolls). <br /><br />I feel pretty lame, though. Monnie has no clue about Jesus at all. Soon I hope?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
