bust out your crayons

Taking some inspiration from these super cute olliblocks ,  I made some Book of Mormon Swap blocks! You can print these out and glue them to one inch blocks, but since I want to use these in Sacrament Meeting and not be super loud, I turned them into magnets! First, download the swap blocks  here . Then just print, cut, stick to 1" magnetic tape, and cut again. Then, to make these super portable, and as well as have a surface to play on, (You know, if you actually get to sacrament and don't sit on a metal chair ) I put them all in a cute little altoids tin. Voila!  Enjoy!

So here's my first attempt at some sort of craft.  It seems a little random, but I'm part of a pre-school co-op and I was in charge of an 'H' lesson.  Since Hippo and Hat both start with H, I wanted to make a hippo hat.  Turns out, those are amazingly hard to find.  So, I made my own and just thought I'd share.  We actually used this as a pattern and made the hats out of foam sheets and googly eyes. Directions: 1. Color! (If you think it's boring because hippos are grey, they don't have to be!) 2. Cut out shapes 3. Attach the ears.  The ears can either just be glued on top or cut a v where the v's are and stick them through. 4. Glue on eyes 5. Fold the teeth on the dotted line and glue to the underside of the brim. 6. Punch out the holes near the back and use a piece of yarn to tie around your child's head. 7. You're done!  You're child is now a hippo.  Enjoy!

I scream! You scream! We all scream for...the alphabet?  These can be felties, magnets, or just plain paper.  It's pretty simple.  Cut out the ice cream and the cones, bust out your crayons, color and match the upper case with the lower case.  Enjoy!
