So getting Emma through sacrament meeting isn't too much of a struggle for me but sometimes it is for Ricky and Kim. They are kind enough to sit by me each week and Emma keeps her eye out and occasionally kicks people off our pew to save them a spot! Especially with N8 up on the stand now, it helps out a lot!!! Thanks Ricky and Kim!! Emma seems to getting board with my usual church bag items. The small plastic animals still keep her busy, but she gets done with them quicker. So, I came up with a "Family Picture Puzzle" idea.
So, here's the gist of it. I used Picasa to create a collage of pictures. Make sure you you use the grid spacing to give your self a little bit of room in between the pictures. After it's printed (I printed mine as 5x7's at Walmart) I laminated the picture. Then cut out the pictures. Place on a file folder (I actually use 1/2 a file folder for each one) and trace around each picure. place a magnet on the back of each picture and in each spot in the puzzle! To keep all the pieces together I stapled a ziploc baggie on the opposite side. I made one with pictures of each of the kids. I think they turned out pretty fun.
Tomorrow is the 100th day of school for Bud. He got to create an art project using 100 items. He used 100 buttons and turned them into crayons. They can be counted by 2's, 5's and 10's! He was pretty proud!
Happy 100th day of school!!
