Christmas Fun!

This week is our last week of formal preschool until after Christmas. I have difficulty working Christmas activities in with our regular preschool curriculum so I decided to finish off this week and then do just Christmas activities next week. The following week we are going to Iowa, so we will do nothing but get ready that week.

I've done a little preliminary planning and this is what I have come up with! I think it will be fun.

First, I bought Truth in the Tinsel. There are lots of cute crafts in here and there are modified schedules so you don't have to do every single craft if you don't want to (or don't have time!) These were created by a mom and are geared for the preschool/early elementary age. This e-book costs $4.99 and is delivered right to your e-mail.

And then to sneak some learning into all of the fun crafty-ness, I downloaded this preschool pak, which is free. I love free.

Then we have to have some reading! The curriculum we use for preschool is literature based and we have a book called The Lion Storyteller Book. This book has fun illustrations and stories that Danae really enjoys. I discovered there was a Lion Storyteller CHRISTMAS Book. And well, that's all she wrote. I had to have it!

If you are really picky about Bible stories being accurately told in literature, you're going to have to modify some of the Bible section as you read. The Wise Men did not show up at the stable, but they do in this book. I just preread everything because I. am. picky.

I'm hopeful that it will be a fun week for my kids as well as the daycare kids!
