Surrounded by Grace

Today we had an art lesson about Fall and acorns…

Then we decided to trek to the outdoors and collect some acorns in our front yard…
Christopher decided he would like to see what is inside an acorn…

…which resulted in this…

…and he says…”it looks like a peanut inside!”

Then we talked about leaves…

…and why they change color…

Fall…cool weather, colors so rich and beautiful! Changes are all around us!

I’ve started to add the suggestions from this book to our library…
I love this book!
“Study guide for 52 children’s picture books that follows the Liturgical Year. The guide for each book includes discussion questions, suggested vocabulary study, and enrichment activities. The books featured are a wide range of Christian and Catholic themed titles. Intended for ages 5-9.”

Found this on:

This was a gift from a visiting priest from France. He and two teens came to our home to stay with us while we were in Denver, 1993. They were visiting for World Youth Day!

October is the month of the Rosary!

What activities do you have planned for this month?

Made by Christopher with play-doh!

I was researching books for the kids that would be fun, entertaining….but would also create that spark of imagination in them as they are doing art. I found this one…We got it in the mail…it is awesome!
